Answer:

A. The travel industry changed from a consolidated structure to a fragmented one.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the speaker talks of the change in the way travels are managed. Initially, few large travel agencies took control of the way travel is arranged, from booking tickets to managing hotel rooms.

What's the estimated length of a wall that has 31 studs 16 inches on center?
devlian [24]

Answer:

480 inches (40 feet)

Explanation:

Studs are boards placed on walls so as to support the walls. Studs are used in framing the wall and they are vertical.

Studs are usually spaced on walls with wall framing at either 16 inches on center, 19 inches on center or 24 inches on centers.

Given that on center spacing = 16 inches, number of studs = 31

The length of the wall is given by the formula:

number of studs = (length of wall in inches / on center spacing in inches) + 1

Length of wall (inches) = (number of studs - 1) * on center spacing

hence:

Length of wall (inches) = (31 - 1) * 16 inches = 480 inches

Length of wall = 480 inches = 40 feet

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Safety Needs

Explanation:

If Helène, an industrial sales representative, bought a cellular phone to use if she ever had car trouble while traveling between appointments. The level of Maslow’s need hierarchy that Helène is addressing is Safety Needs

It would have been 'Esteem needs' if Helene was just buying a phone to be in the same class with her friends or she is changing her phone to reflect her class.

However Helene is buying this phone because she wants to keep appointments which falls in the category of employments and hence is a 'Safety need'.

Safety needs in Maslow's hierarchy has to do with the need for security and protection. If Helene's car breaks down, it could also be a threat to her security if she is unable to call for help
