The Age of Exploration, which spanned from the 15th to the 17th century, was a significant period in world history that had far-reaching consequences for the world. Here are some of the key significance of the Age of Exploration:

1. Discovery of New Routes: The Age of Exploration led to the discovery of new trade routes, sea routes, and landmasses. This opened up new opportunities for trade, commerce, and cultural exchange between different regions.
2. European Expansion: The Age of Exploration marked the beginning of European expansion beyond their continent. European powers such as Portugal, Spain, Britain, France, and the Netherlands established colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, leading to the transfer of resources, ideas, and cultures between continents.
3. Spread of Christianity: The Age of Exploration was also a period of significant missionary work by European Christian churches. Missionaries traveled to new lands to spread Christianity, leading to the conversion of millions of people and the establishment of new churches and religious institutions.
4. Transfer of Plants and Animals: The Age of Exploration led to the transfer of plants and animals between different regions. New crops such as maize, potatoes, and tomatoes were introduced to Europe from the Americas, while animals such as horses, cattle, and chickens were introduced to the Americas from Europe.

Here’s the step-by-step process:

Let’s say we want to multiply the following:

• Fraction: 2/3
• Whole number: 5
• Mixed number: 1 1/4

Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
1 1/4 = (1 × 4 + 1) / 4 = 5/4

Step 2: Multiply all the fractions and whole numbers together.
(2/3) × 5 × (5/4) = (2 × 5 × 5) / (3 × 4)
= 50 / 12
= 25/6

Therefore, the result of multiplying 2/3, 5, and 1 1/4 is 25/

If I could have any magical power, I would choose the ability to heal.

With the power to heal, I could help alleviate the suffering of so many people around the world. I could mend broken bones, cure illnesses, and ease physical and emotional pain. This magical gift would allow me to make a tangible difference in the lives of others.

Imagine being able to heal a child with a life-threatening disease, or to help a wounded soldier recover and return to their family. I could provide comfort to the sick and dying, and give hope to those facing seemingly insurmountable health challenges.

Beyond just physical healing, I could also use this power to heal fractured relationships, mend broken hearts, and soothe mental anguish. I could help people work through trauma, addiction, and debilitating anxiety or depression.

Fertilizers, which are commonly used in agriculture and lawn/gardening, can lead to water pollution in a few key ways:

1. Nutrient runoff – Fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorus can be carried by rainwater and irrigation runoff into nearby rivers, lakes, and oceans. This excess of nutrients in water bodies can cause algal blooms, which deplete oxygen levels and harm aquatic ecosystems.

2. Leaching – Fertilizers that are not fully absorbed by plants can leach down through the soil, contaminating groundwater supplies that feed into larger water systems.

3. Sewage overflow – When wastewater treatment plants are overburdened, they may release untreated sewage containing residual fertilizers into waterways during heavy rain events.

4. Improper disposal – If excess fertilizers are improperly disposed of, such as pouring them down drains, the nutrients can end up polluting nearby water sources.

Here are the steps to make a simple paper flower:

1. Start with a square piece of origami paper, or cut a standard 8.5×11 inch sheet of paper into a square.

2. Fold the paper diagonally in half to create a triangle. Crease the fold well.

3. Fold the triangle in half to make a smaller triangle. Crease.

4. Unfold the paper so you have the original square.

5. Take the top corner and fold it down to meet the center crease. Repeat with the other 3 corners.

6. Lift the center square up and gently pull the 4 petals outward to open up the flower shape.

7. To finish, you can leave the petals as-is or gently curl them outward with your fingers to give the flower more dimension.

8. Optional: Add a small circle of paper in the center to finish the flower design

Therefore, the GCF of 10 and 20 is 2 x 5 = 10.

Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF of 10:

10/20 = (10/10)/(20/10)
= 1/2

So we need to convert 1/3 and 1/4 to have a denominator of 12.

1/3 = 4/12

1/4 = 3/12

Now we can add them:

4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12

Therefore, the sum of 1/3 and 1/4 is 7/12.
