Answer:

They both started with 500 dollars and saved for 6 weeks.

Explanation:

We can observe that the difference in the amount of money saved per week is 25 dollars. (you save 75 dollars and your friend saves 50 dollars)

When vacation time comes, you have 950 dollars and your friend has 800. There is a difference of 150 dollars. Therefore <u>we have to divide the difference of amount per week by the total difference to find how many weeks have passed:</u>

150 / 25 = 6

Therefore, when vacation time has arrived, there have been 6 weeks since you and your friend started to save.

  1. Now, 6 weeks saving $75 per week would give you $450 dollars, but if you finish with $950 dollars, you'd have to subtract these amounts to see how much you started with.

950 - 450 = 500.

Therefore, you started with $500 dollars.

  1. On the other hand, your friend saved $50 dollars per week for 6 weeks, so she saved a total of $300. If she finished with 800 dollars then she started with:

800 - 300 = 500.

Therefore, she started with $500 dollars.

alexdok [17]

The events are-

  • Marathon
  • Thermophylea
  • Artemisium
  • Salamis

Explanation:

  • . The fighting was most intense during two invasions that Persia launched against mainland Greece between 490 and 479.

  • The Greek triumph ensured the survival of Greek culture and political structures long after the demise of the Persian empire.

#GRECO-PERSIAN WARS EVENTS

  • In the generation before 522, the Persian kings Cyrus II and Cambyses II extended their rule from the Indus River valley to the Aegean Sea. After the defeat of the Lydian king Croesus (c. 546), the Persians gradually conquered the small Greek city-states along the Anatolian coast.
  • In 522 Darius came to power and set about consolidating and strengthening the Persian empire.

  • In 500 BCE the Greek city-states on the western coast of Anatolia rose up in rebellion against Persia.
  • This uprising, known as the Ionian revolt (500–494 BCE), failed, but its consequences for the mainland Greeks were momentous. Athens and Eretria had sent a small fleet in support of the revolt, which Darius took as a pretext for launching an invasion of the Greek mainland. His forces advanced toward Europe in 492 BCE, but, when much of his fleet was destroyed in a storm, he returned home
  • . However, in 490 a Persian army of 25,000 men landed unopposed on the Plain of Marathon, and the Athenians appealed to Sparta to join forces against the invader.
  • Owing to a religious festival, the Spartans were detained, and the 10,000 Athenians had to face the Persians aided only by 1,000 men from Plataea.
  • The Athenians were commanded by 10 generals, the most daring of whom was Miltiades. While the Persian cavalry was away, he seized the opportunity to attack.
  • The Greeks won a decisive victory, losing only 192 men to the Persians’ 6,400 (according to the historian Herodotus)
  • The Greeks then prevented a surprise attack on Athens itself by quickly marching back to the city.

#Darius I

  • Darius I seated before two incense burners, detail of a bas-relief of the north courtyard in the Treasury at Persepolis, late 6th–early 5th century BCE;

  • After their defeat at Marathon, the Persians went home, but they returned in vastly greater numbers 10 years later, led by Darius’s successor, Xerxes
  • . The unprecedented size of his forces made their progress quite slow, giving the Greeks plenty of time to prepare their defense. A general Greek league against Persia was formed in 481.
  • Command of the army was given to Sparta, that of the navy to Athens. The Greek fleet numbered about 350 vessels and was thus only about one-third the size of the Persian fleet. Herodotus estimated the Persian army to number in the millions, but modern scholars tend to doubt his reportage.
  • The Greeks decided to deploy a force of about 7,000 men at the narrow pass of Thermopylae and a force of 271 ships under Themistocles at Artemisium. Xerxes’ forces advanced slowly toward the Greeks, suffering losses from the weather.

What is the relationship between leisure and positive emotion? Leisure must generate positive emotion during the experience. Any
zysi [14]

The correct answer is D. Leisure generates positive emotion through anticipation, experience, or recollection.

Explanation:

Leisure refers to the use of time only for free enjoyment, this includes activities such as fishing, exercising, or playing that have a positive emotional impact on individuals and they choose to engage voluntarily. This positive effect makes leisure different from the time spent in education, job, or physical needs.

Indeed, leisure generates strong positive emotions such as serenity, pride, or self-achievement. Moreover, the emotions are experienced not only during the leisure activity but also before and after the activity, as anticipation or memories of leisure trigger positive emotional responses due to the high enjoyability of leisure. Thus, the option that best describes the link between leisure and positive emotion is "Leisure generates positive emotion through anticipation, experience, or recollection".
