Answer: The Electoral College as currently implemented impedes democracy. The framers of the Constitution envisioned a gathering of well-informed representatives from the states who would bring the concerns of the citizens to the attention of the rest of their colleagues. The goal was to select a President who would be able to guide the federal government in its decisions and policies in such a manner as to bring the most benefit to the nation while being mindful of issues of concern to various individual states and regions. The electors were intended to be free to vote their consciences in light of the discussion and debates that would take place. They were to select the best candidates and select a president and vice president. It was a sensible method, especially in view of difficulties in travel and communications at the time-- long before highways, planes, telephones and the internet had been invented.
Such is not current practice. As political parties took over the nominations process, and states passed laws to restrict electors to voting only for the candidates who won the majority of votes in each state, the Electoral College has become a meaningless formality. It is a numbers game that allows TV networks to project winners long before all the ballots have been counted. It has resulted in the election of President Bush, in 2000, an President Trump in 2061 despite the overall majorities of the popular vote having been cast for their opponents, Al Gore and Hillary Clinton.

By using a woodstove, the kilograms of wood required to
heat a room to 20°C is 3 kg
<h3>Efficiency of a machine</h3>
- Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine (input work) to that of the work done by the machine (output work).
- Efficiency of a machine is always less than 100% because the output work is always less than the input work because some of the input work is used to overcome friction.
Efficiency = work output/work input * 100%
Efficiency of fireplaces = 15%
Amount of food required to heat a room to 20°C = 15 kg
Assuming efficiency of 100%, amount of wood required will be X kg:
X = 15% * 15 kg
X = 2.25 Kg
By switching to woodstoves which are 75% efficient, amount of wood required will be Y kg:
Y = 2.25 kg / 75%
Y = 3 kg
Therefore, by using a woodstove, the kilograms of wood required to
heat a room to 20°C is 3 kg

Answer:
$1320
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Principal (P) = $22000
Rate (R) = 12 %
Time (T) = 6 months
There are 12 months in a year i.e
12 months = 1 year.
Therefore, 6 months = 6/12 = 1/2 year
Interest (I) =?
Interest is related to principal, rate and time by the following equation:
I = PRT
I = 22000 x 12% x 1/2
I = 22000 x 12/100 x 1/2
I = $1320
Therefore, the interest revenue earned for the entire term of the note is $1320
The easiest way to find such limits, where there is a numerator and a denominator is to apply <span><span>Hospital's Rule.
1st find the derivative of the numerator and the derivative of the denominator, if it still gives an indeterminate value, find the second derivative of N and D
3) lim sin(2x)/x when x →0
Derivative sin2x → 2cos2x
Derivative x→ 1
2cos2x/1 when x→0 , 2cos2x → 2
and lim sin(2x)/x when x →0 is 2
4) lim(sinx)/(2x²-x)
→cosx/(2x-1) when x →0 cosx/(2x-1) = -1
and lim(sinx)/(2x²-x) when x →0 is -1
and so on and so forth. Try to continue following the same principle

Answer:
They now travel 18.4 miles
Explanation:
Given
![Distance = 20\ miles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Distance%20%3D%2020%5C%20miles)
![\%\ Less = 8\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%25%5C%20Less%20%3D%208%5C%25)
Required
Determine the new distance covered
First, we need to determine the reduced distance
This is calculated as thus:
![Reduced\ Distance = 8\% * 20\ miles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Reduced%5C%20Distance%20%3D%208%5C%25%20%2A%2020%5C%20miles)
Convert % to decimal
![Reduced\ Distance = 0.08 * 20\ miles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Reduced%5C%20Distance%20%3D%200.08%20%2A%2020%5C%20miles)
![Reduced\ Distance = 1.6\ miles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Reduced%5C%20Distance%20%3D%201.6%5C%20miles)
Now, the new distance can be calculated;
![New\ Distance = 20\ miles - 1.6\ miles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=New%5C%20Distance%20%3D%2020%5C%20miles%20-%201.6%5C%20miles)
![New\ Distance = 18.4\ miles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=New%5C%20Distance%20%3D%2018.4%5C%20miles)
<em>Hence; they now travel 18.4 miles</em>
