Answer:

Reagan significantly increased military spending, which went from 267.1 billion dollars in 1980 (4.9% of GDP and 22.7% of public expenditure) to 393.1 billion in 1988 (5.8% of GDP and 27.3% of public spending). These figures were not seen since the end of the American participation in the Vietnam War, in 1973.

The Reagan administration turned the arms race into a technological struggle, where the largest industrial, military and economic capacity of the United States imposed to the Soviet bloc. During the Reagan administration, Trident nuclear submarines (Ohio class) appeared and took advantage of advances in computer science.

What was a cost associated with enforcing the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887?
Andrews [41]

The correct answer is A) establishing and maintaining the Interstate Commerce Commission.

A cost associated with enforcing the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 was establishing and maintaining the Interstate Commerce Commission.

In that time, railroads had abusive practices that affected consumers and businesses across the country. That is why the federal government created the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, effective since April 7. The United States Congress wanted to reduce monopolistic practices in railroads of America and invite those companies to have more reasonable prices that could be afforded by the majority. One of the costs associated with enforcing the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 was establishing and maintaining the Interstate Commerce Commission that was looking for the elimination of discrimination rates and to oversee railroads compliance with these new regulations.

The graph shows the price of green tea compared to the amount supplied by producers.
Kaylis [27]

<em>The correct answer is: 2. </em>Green tea is inelastic in terms of supply.

The elasticity of the supply of a product measures the variation experienced by the quantities of products supplied by the producers before variations in certain factors of production. In our case, the established factor is the market price of the goods to be produced (green tea), and is called the price elasticity of the offer.

The price elasticity of the supply of a product is calculated as the quotient between the differences in the quantity offered to the market by the producers and the differences in the market price of that product.

In this case, the price elasticity of green tea is 67%. The calculation is done as follows:

  <em> E (%) = (S2-S1) / (P2-P1) = (5-3) / (7-4) = 2/3 = 67% </em>

As this value is less than unity, it is said that the green tea is Inelastic in terms of supplies with respect to the market price.

This means that before increases in the price the quantities supplied by the producers increase in a smaller proportion.

According to this primary source, how did Tarik motivate his Muslim army?
lapo4ka [179]

The speech Tarik gave to his Muslim army is a classical example of the sorts of ideals that motivated the Islamic conquest - he speaks not of spreading a message of salvation, but of spoils, material delights, and the ravishing of maidens. <em>"How different are the delights promised to the Mohammedan jihadist from the beatitude the Christian strives for!"</em>

Please mark brainliest if I helped! :)
