Answer 1

Answer:

The partition of the Punjab in mid-August 1947 took place as part of a negotiated settlement brokered by the British between the Indian National Congress, the All-India Muslim League and the Sikhs of Punjab to partition India and transfer power to India and Pakistan.

Answer 2

Answer:

$33\frac{1}{3}$ weeks ≈ 33.3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Plant A: 25 + 2w

Plant B: 20 + (2.15)w

20 + (2.15)w = 25 + 2w

2.15w - 2w = 25 - 20

(0.15)w = 5

w = 5 ÷ 0.15 = 5 ÷ $\frac{3}{20}$ = $33\frac{1}{3}$ weeks ≈ 33.3 weeks
