The democratic race has never seemed so intriguing or so close, with each election’s results closely watched and delegates agreed, each vote really does seem to count this time around. Numbers of those turning out to the polls have reached new highs for a primary election, and one of the main drivers is the head-to-head race between Obama and Clinton. After Super Tuesday, Clinton was in the lead and sitting pretty. But since then, election after election has turned to Obama’s favor. Some big elections coming up include Texas and Ohio, both of which have Hillary in the lead.

But how different are these two candidates? People seem passionate about their candidates, but when looking at the two side by side, they are overall very similar. There are some who hate Hillary, and would not want her to be president, but the same is not true for Obama. At the same time, if my candidate of choice wasn’t elected president, I think I wouldn’t be opposed to the other winning the nomination. Which raises the question of a joint ticket1 between the two.

In the recent California debate Obama and Clinton were asked if they would consider a joint ticket, and both said yes. It seems interesting. They are both strong and successful and wouldn’t back down2 if the other didn’t see eye-to-eye with them. That’s the kind of relationship I want between my President and Vice President, if you pick a pair who agree on everything, what good does that serve? What if no one is looking at the issue from another angle?

However, I would be worried about the two partnering together with the red states, I think together they can seem too liberal and might not be the winning ticket. I still think a middle of road white male would be the best ticket for both. Although, personally I would be all for a joint ticket.

O preço do saneamento

Falta saneamento básico para 2,6 bilhões de pessoas, ou 41% da população mundial. A ONU afirma que o problema poderia ser solucionado em duas décadas, com investimentos anuais de 10 bilhões de dólares.

A falta de saneamento causa: a morte de 42.000 pessoas por semana no mundo; a morte de uma criança a cada 20 segundos.

Seria possível solucionar o problema com: o equivalente a 1% dos investimentos militares feitos anualmente no mundo; o equivalente ao dinheiro gasto pelos europeus com sorvete.

Infere-se do texto que a população mundial é formada por mais de 6 bilhões de pessoas.

Com relação a regra de três, porcentagens e juros simples e compostos, o próximo item apresenta uma situação-problema, seguida de uma assertiva a ser julgada.

Cada grupo de empregados do setor de montagem de uma fábrica de veículos recebe gratificação, para ser dividida igualmente entre os membros do grupo, de R$ 150,00 por cada veículo montado, e um grupo de 5 desses empregados, trabalhando durante 6 horas, consegue montar 3 veículos. Além disso a quantidade de trabalho de cada empregado desse setor é a mesma para todos eles. Nessa situação, se um grupo de 15 desses empregados trabalhar durante 4 horas, ao final, cada empregado desse grupo receberá, de gratificação pelos veículos que conseguirem montar, mais de R$ 70,00.
