Answer: 11.4"

Explanation: Rainfall for Fiji averages 12"

Let us assume that this is 100%. At 5% less, it rained 95% (that is 100% - 5%) this year.

95% (or 0.95) X 12'' = 11.4"

You can also calculate 5% of 12" and then subtract the value from 12"

It rained 5% less, that is 5% X 12" or 0.05 X 12" = 0.6"

12" - 0.6" = 11.4"

Therefore, it rained 11.4" this January. This is 5% less than the usual average of 12" of rainfall that Fiji gets in January.

What ideas and values were most closely associated with the different english settlements in north america? review?
Alex777 [14]
The Whig theory, put into place after the Glorious Revolution, put a premium on the idea of civic virtue, placing the public good above personal interest. To promote such virtue, one needed a society in which property ownership was widespread. An agricultural nation, where farming was thought to encourage honesty, frugality, and independence, was less likely to become corrupt than a society dependent on commerce and manufacturing. In an agrarian society, politics would be less fractious because everyone's interest would be similar. In such a society representatives would be less fractious because everyone's interest would be similar. In such a society representatives would be equally affected by whatever laws they passed. This would prevent them from tyrannizing over the people by passing oppressive laws. 
<span>The Whig view of politics was not democratic. It assumed that only men who owned property had a sufficient permanent stake in society to be trusted to vote.</span>
