A part in mistletoe folklore comes from Norse mythology. As the story goes, when the god Odin’s son Baldur was prophesied to die, his mother Frigg, the goddess of love, went to all the animals and plants of the natural world to secure an oath that they would not harm him. But Frigg neglected to consult with the unassuming mistletoe, so the scheming god Loki made an arrow from the plant and saw that it was used to kill the otherwise invincible Baldur. According to one sunnier version of the myth, the gods were able to resurrect Baldur from the dead. Delighted, Frigg then declared mistletoe a symbol of love and vowed to plant a kiss on all those who passed beneath it.

Technically, it traces back to ancient Norse mythology. At least, that's where the mistletoe's association with romance came from. It really picked up in the 18th century, when it became a tradition for British servants to kiss under a mistletoe. The tradition spread from there.

Given the following numbers:
Ad libitum [116K]

The numbers π,2√5,√8,√3,√27 are real numbers, and the correct order of the numbers from least to greatest is √3,  √8,  π, 2√5, √27

<h3>How to order the numbers from least to greatest?</h3>

The list of numbers is given as:

π,2√5,√8,√3,√27

Evaluate each number:

\pi = 3\frac{1}{7}

2\sqrt 5 = 2 * 2.2

2\sqrt 5  = 4.4

Express as fraction

2\sqrt 5  = 4 \frac 25

\sqrt{8} = 2.8

Express as fraction

\sqrt{8} = 2\frac 45

\sqrt{3} =1.7

Express as fraction

\sqrt{3} =1\frac{7}{10}

\sqrt{27} = 5.2

Express as fraction

\sqrt{27} = 5\frac15

From the above computation, we have the following results

\pi = 3\frac{1}{7}

2\sqrt 5  = 4 \frac 25

\sqrt{8} = 2\frac 45

\sqrt{3} =1\frac{7}{10}

\sqrt{27} = 5\frac15

Order the numbers in ascending order

\sqrt{3} =1\frac{7}{10}

\sqrt{8} = 2\frac 45

\pi = 3\frac{1}{7}

2\sqrt 5  = 4 \frac 25

\sqrt{27} = 5\frac15

The above means that the correct order of the numbers from least to greatest is √3,  √8,  π, 2√5, √27

What were the effects of the massive influx of immigration to the u.s in the late 1800s
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

1. It Created Ethnic Diversity

2. It Facilitated Industry

3. It inspired Conflict

4. It Built America

Explanation:

1. 1870s and 1880s immigration was northern European, Ireland, England and Germany. Then came eastern and southern Europeans in Scandinavians, and Asians. Neighborhoods in places like NYC were dedicated to their own ethic groups, an example is "Little Italy".

2. This helped create a lot of simplified tasks for unskilled workers instead of skilled worker who were payed much more. 2/3rds of workers in Chicago were then Immigrants. This made some groups go into specific industries. For example, Jews went into the Garment Industry most of the time.

3. Society was conflicted on the arrival of Immigrants at the time. Low wages and unemployment was blamed on Immigrants, as well as the cause of poverty and crime. Laws were passed like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion act, and the 1894 Immigration Restriction League.

4. Closer to 50% of Immigrants actually only came to the US for economic reasons and went here to gain easy money and they went back to their home country. Around 30-50% of Italian immigrants actually went back to Italy after only 5 years. Many still became part of American society, and now millions of people can trace back their roots to Immigrant Groups.
