7 0

The Mississippi is important to American because of how long it is. It starts in Minnesota and drains into the gulf of Mexico. Many people have built their homes along and near the "Mighty Mississippi" because you can transport goods down it via boat to many states, you can use it to farm and get water to dry locations and grow many crops. It's used for hydroelectric power for large cities, it drains off flood water to prevent flooding in the Midwest. It was very important during the civil war and many boats battled for control of it. And it's a lot cheaper and faster to transport on the river than on the road, it has many dams that help local economies and create job opportunities for locals.

In 2008 the exchange rate between euros and US dollars was 1 euro for $1.55 in 2019 the rate was 1 euro for 1.12

fgiga [73]

Answer: A. In 2019, the United States had to lower its prices on goods sold to European nations.

Explanation:

In 2019 the Euro could be exchanged for less dollars than in 2008. This means that the U.S. Dollar got stronger. As a result, U.S. goods will now be more expensive in 2019 than they were in 2008 to a person using the Euros because they would now have to pay more to get the same goods they used to get.

In order to maintain profitability therefore, the U.S. will reduce its prices in 2019 so that people using the Euro would be able to purchase goods for the cheaper prices they had been able to purchase those goods in 2008.
