What economic activities were common in the new england colonies? a) coal mining and oil drilling b) rice, indigo, tobacco, and cotton production c) shipbuilding, wheat production, imports, and exports d) lumber production, fishing, whaling, and fur trapping

The correct answer is D. Lumber production, fishing, whaling and fur trapping.

Explanation:

Farming was very hard at the time in the New England colonies, the soil was poor and unfertile, so farming was not a common acticity in general, on the other hand the colonist were very avid in fishing and whaling and mostly made their living out of these activities, the whale oil was a very important resource because it could be used in lamps, making this a very profitable activity, as i said before the land was not very suitable for farming, but it gave other resources like lumber that was also heavily exported to England due to a shortage of wood. in addition, hunting was also a very frecuent activity resulting in a good trade and market for furs, making fur traffic also a common and profitable activity.

what are local authorities doing to fix the problem

explanation:

part a. there were 250 teenagers surveyed (100% of tenagers = 250)therefore 1 % = 250/100 = 2.5 76% = 1% x 76 = 2.5 x 76 = 190 teenagers of the 250 surveyed liked burgerspart b: jane surveyed 25% (which is equal to 50 teenagers, i.e. a quarter of the teenagers surveyed is 50) to get 100% we simply get 4 quarters, i.e. multiply 50 by 4 = 200 teenagers were surveyed by jane. part c: it is impossible to give an example where a percentage is greater than 100%, since, by definition , percentage means "per 100".
