Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are best known for their expedition from the Mississippi River to the West Coast and back. The expedition, called the Corps of Discovery, was President Thomas Jefferson's visionary project to explore the American West. It began in May of 1804 and ended in September 1806.
The Intolerable Acts were the American Patriots' term for a series of punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. They were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance of throwing a large tea shipment into Boston Harbor in reaction to changes in taxation by the British to the detriment of Colonial goods. In Great Britain, these laws were referred to as the Coercive Acts.
The acts took away Massachusetts' self-government and historic rights, triggering outrage and resistance in the Thirteen Colonies. They were key developments in the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775.
Answer:
Divide the numerator by the denominator
Explanation:
For example, let's say that you were trying to find out your test score and it was a 23/25
23 is the numerator, or the top number, 25 is the bottom number, or denominator.
23/25 = 0.92
If you do it the other way around
25/23 = 1.086
That doesn't make sense.
If you were to multiply by 100, it would work, but that doesn't give you the decimal. That gives you the whole number.
23/25 x 100 = 92
