Question

This is a table:

table 5-1:
1845 Census
______________________________________
Total population 223 054
______________________________________
People living in cellars 40 000
______________________________________
People living in crowded apartments 60 000
______________________________________
Members of the working class 160 000
______________________________________
Death rate(per thousand) 35
______________________________________
Newborn's chances of reaching the age of 5 (working class) 1 in 2
(upper class) 4 in 5
______________________________________
Average age at death 22
______________________________________
number of toilets in Irish sections
2 to 250 people
______________________________________

Using this data, determine how large a part of the population was considered working class. I think around 65%, but I need it in numbers.

Compare the death rate for children in the upper and lower classes. How do you account for the difference?
I need help on this

Why are sanitation facilities important?
sanitation facilities are important because without them, we could develop health problems and many diseases. We need sanitation facilities to feel assured about our good health.

all your help will be appreciated,thanks

Answer 1

Working class:
160,000 / 223 054 = 0.717 = 72%

Sub-standard housing:
40,000 + 60,000 = 100,000
Find the percentage.

Child death rate -- upper and lower classes:
Think about the things that kill young children -- disease, malnutrition, accidents, unsanitary conditions, etc.

Sanitation facilities: Your answer is good. :-)

Answer 2

Compare the death rate for children in the upper and lower classes. How do you account for the difference?

Children both in the upper and lower classes had to manage hard work, and the result of this hard work lead to accidents which lead to deaths. Difference between these 2 are that lower class children died because of lack of food and also love. Love couldn't be given to these children because the whole family was too busy working to provide love.

is this right?

Answer 3

sara: Do you think folks really die because of "lack" of love? Disease, lack of medical attention, nutrition, and lack of sanitation probably killed a few more than lack of love.

Answer 4

Children of the upper (rich) class didn't work. They were well cared for, had good food, and little chance of accidents.

Also -- children in poor families received lots of love, but that wasn't enough to make up for the disease in crowded and unsanitary conditions, malnutrition, and accidents.

Answer 5

sorry, by lack of love I meant, that children don't get cared of

Answer 6

Then how did upper class people mainly die?

Answer 7

disease. There were no antibiotics then. Respiratory aliments (flu, pneumonia, etc) were common.

Answer 8

thank you very much
