What were Alaska and Hawaii before they were states?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
4 0

ALASKA was a Russian colony from 1744 until the USA bought it in 1867 for $7,200,000. It was made a state in 1959. ALASKA was also a "territory" until May 1959. Statehood requires a minimum population.

Hawaii was a kingdom until 1893 and became a republic in 1894. It then ceded itself to the USA in 1898 and became a state in 1959. IMMEDIATELY before Hawaii achieved statehood in 1959, it was a Territory of the US. However, it had been a sovereign constitutional monarchy until 1893, when the last Queen, Lili'uokalani, was deposed by a group of American sugar planters and missionaries, with the support of the US marines.

Technological improvements and reduced equipment costs have made converting solar energy directly into electricity far more cost
Natali [406]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Technological improvements and reduced equipment costs have made converting solar energy directly into electricity far more cost-efficient in the last decade. However, the threshold of economic viability for solar power (that is, the price per barrel to which oil would have to rise in order for new solar power plants to be more economical than new oil-fired power plants) is unchanged at thirty-five dollars.  Which of the following, if true, does most to help explain why the increased cost-efficiency of solar power has not decreased its threshold of economic viability?

(A) The cost of oil has fallen dramatically.  (B) The reduction in the cost of solar-power equipment has occurred despite increased raw material costs for that equipment.  (C) Technological changes have increased the efficiency of oil-fired power plants.  (D) Most electricity is generated by coal-fired or nuclear, rather than oil-fired, power plants.  (E) When the price of oil increases, reserves of oil not previously worth exploiting become economically viable."

Answer:

(C) Technological changes have increased the efficiency of oil-fired power plants.

Explanation:

Economic viability is able to reveal the degree of acceptance of consumers in relation to a specific product. This viability is important to understand how the product will be received in the market and how profitable or not it can be for those who produce it.

Economic viability is usually greater when the cost and benefit ratio of the product or service is favorable, however this is not always the case.

Regarding the use of solar energy, although technological changes have made the installation and equipment of this type of energy more cost-effective, these technological changes have also increased the efficiency of oil plants. As a result, the economic viability of solar energy has declined.

As a human resource professional, it is important to know that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission views protection agai
Maurinko [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include the options for this question. However, trying to help, we can say the following.

As a human resource professional, it is important to know that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission views protection against gender identity and sexual orientation discrimination as part of the legislation, even if the U.S. Department of Justice does not endorse this view.

If you work at any position in the Human Resources Department, you have to know that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission supports workers and employees regarding their sexual orientation. No company in the United States can fire an employee due to its sexual orientation because it would violate Title VII that refers to discrimination because of sexual orientation.
