The 365 day solar calendars are much more practical and accurate than 29.5 day moon calendars. As the lunar calendar is governed by the cycle of 29 and a half days of the moon, in ancient times it was much used for the resemblance to the menstrual period of the woman, and with the pregnancy time of 10 lunar months. However, it can't be compared to the accuracy of the solar calendar, which also brings together the four seasons of the year, and it was the most popular in the West since lunar cycles are inaccurates for modern requirements. This because each month would have half a day that would be lost or added to next month, but finally at the end of the year, the lunar cycles would not fit well with the human lunar calendar.

Jonas jogged up the hill at an average rate of 1/16 of a mile per minute and then walked down the hill at an average rate of 1/1
HACTEHA [7]
The missing value in the table that represents the distance of the trip down the hill depends on the speed of Jonas and to total miles covered by Jonas. In the question above the speed and total distance was not mentioned but if we're to assume that Jonas jogged at a speed of 1 mile per minute up to the hill at a distance of 15 miles, Jonas covered the area in 15 minutes. the trip took him 42 minutes in total, so the remaining travel time down the hill is 27 minutes, let us say that the speed of Jonas walking down the hill is 0.5 miles per minute. To equate the travel of Jonas walking down the hill it should be 27 multiply by 0.5 so that answer is 13.5 miles is the distance of the trip going down the hill.

How did American literature and arts begin to change in the mid-1800s?
mylen [45]

Answer:

In the mid-1800s, American literature and arts began to change as authors and artists began to depict American life rather than classical European subjects.

In the mid-1800s, America began to develop its own literature leading to the American Renaissance. During this period, there were calls from literary nationalists who sought for a movement that would develop a unique American literary style which would differentiate American literature from British literature.
