In New York City, the first “garbage dump” was the <u>ocean</u>.

About 80% of New York's garbage was dumped in the ocean until the 1950s approximately, the garbage was such that eventually, it became artificial land, and upon these lands, neighborhoods were built, increasing New York's own size.

Nowadays, the garbage is dumped in certified landfills or is recycled and dumping waste in the ocean is not common at all.

Paolo is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: Be
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Many decisions are taken at the margin

Explanation:

Many decision are taken at the margin.

He makes small changes at the margin in the number of hours spent training on each activity.

Paola and his wife both realise that increasing time spend in the pool will decrease his total triathlon time.

His time is fixed (20hrs) and anytime he wants to spend extra on one activity, i means that he cannot spend time on another (this is known as opportunity cost).

They are both on the same page in terms of trying to improve Paolo's total time (exploiting opportunities to makes themselves better off).

1hour switch in Paolo's point of view isa major change, whereas his wife recommends a wholesale change.

Paolo realises that as he spends more time in the pool improving his swim time, his run and cycle times will take a hit. As he swims more, his improvement is likely to slow down, while spending less time on cycling and running will cost him more in terms of time.

Hence Paolo is looking at the margins.

His wife on the other hand, is not, she is ignoring the interaction, may be forgetting the ncreasing deterioration in terms of time of the other 2 legs

What challenge did congress face when establishing the nation's court system? How did congress solve this problem?
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:The Judiciary Act of 1789, officially titled "An Act to Establish the Judicial Courts of the United States," was signed into law by President George Washington on September 24, 1789. Article III of the Constitution established a Supreme Court, but left to Congress the authority to create lower federal courts as needed. Principally authored by Senator Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut, the Judiciary Act of 1789 established the structure and jurisdiction of the federal court system and created the position of attorney general. Although amended throughout the years by Congress, the basic outline of the federal court system established by the First Congress remains largely intact today
