Based on the map, what was the approximate distance between Gao and Timbuktu? (1 point)


100 miles

300 miles

500 miles

700 miles

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

300 miles

Explanation:

Answer 2

B- The distance between the cities of Gao and Timbuktu is approximately 300 miles as they are about three-tenth of an inch apart from each other in distance on the map.

The distance is easily calculated by the way of simple division as all the material facts required to calculate the approximate distance between the two cities are given in the query itself.

The distance between 1000 miles on the map of Africa takes the space of 1 inch. We've been also given the information that half an inch equals to five hundred miles.

So, to calculate the distance between Gao and Timbuktu which is denoted by three tenth of an inch we can easily calculate them as one tenth of an inch will be equal to 100 miles that is derived by dividing 1000 miles=1 inch by 10

The three tenth of such calculation will therefore be 100 miles multiplied by 3 i.e., 300 miles. SO we have our distance calculated as three hundred miles.

Hence, the correct option is B that the distance between Gao and Timbuktu is 300 miles.

Answers

Answer: Urban = Hight Population Density

Suburban = medium density

rural = low density

Explanation: Think of the areas which are described. In a city, people are usually  packed in tight areas, such as apartment buildings. Cities usually have the highest population as well. In suburban areas(neighborhoods) there are still a big population but, they are more spaced out. In rural areas(farms, small towns) there are less people. Because of this, they are more spread out.

Why the Legislative Branch is the most unpopular branch of government

Answers

Answer:

Because it is the most important.

Explanation:

The Legislative Branch writes legislation that directly affects the general population the most.

Answer:

Congress is the legislative branch of the United States government, and it is, by far, the most powerful branch of the US government. Congress will be able to basically "control the court". They are the ones who sit and make the laws all day. They cannot pass any votes unless the rest of congress agrees so it is a very hard think to accomplish and could take days or months to complete. Although they do pass on votes that sometimes leave the president beside himself. If the president were to veto they would still find a way to get around it and pass the vote.

A)

B)
finding leaders capable of commanding troops.
o
making enough goods to keep their forces armed.
D)
breaking coastal blockades set up by the Americans.

Answers

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

As the chart says under military officers, the British had a very experienced army with capable leaders, so it can´t be B. In the industry part, it says that Britain had advanced and well managed industry, and they in general during the war were well supplied and far more put together than the Americans, who could barely supply their troops, so it can´ be C. Breaking coastal blockades, well the British had the strongest navy in the world. Any sea battle against the Americans alone was a guaranteed victory, blockades or no, so option D is out. This leaves option A. If you look at the geography portion there is evidence supporting the answer. Mainland Britain was 3,000 miles away and they were in a foreign land. They did not know the terrain and the Americans were fighting on their home turf, because they did not know the terrain they had difficulty organizing their forces and getting their troops to specific locations. Hope this helps!
