Question

Match the civilization with its invention or idea. 1. Sumer advances in algebra and chemistry 2. Assyria dividing a circle into 360 degrees 3. Babylonia sexagesimal numbering system 4. Hittite iron chariots 5. Persia first written language

Answer 1

The correct answers are "1. Sumer, First written language", "2. Assyria, Sexagesimal numbering system", "3. Babylonia, Dividing a circle into 360 degrees", "4. Hittite, Iron chariots" and "5. Persia, Advances in algebra and chemistry"

Step-by-step explanation:

Sumer, Assyria, Babylonia, Hittite and Persia are ancient civilization that brung improvements to humanity by different means. Sumer created the cuneiform system, the earliest known writing system, which can be tracked to about 8,000 BC. Assyria was responsible on dividing the hours into 60 minutes and minutes into 60 seconds in what is known as the sexagesimal numbering system. Babylonia developed the Babylonian mathematics, perfecting the sexagesimal system of Assyria and including the dividing the circle into 360 degrees. Hittite, successfully used iron chariots for military purposes. Persia made important contributions to algebra and chemistry, including the creation of the wind-power machine, and the process of alcohol distillation.

Answer 2

Let's sort out the jumble:

Advances in algebra and chemistry = Persia
Dividing a circle into 360 degrees = Assyria
Sexagesimal numbering system = Babylonia
Iron chariots = Hittite
First written language = Sumer

By the way, if the term "sexagesimal" isn't in your everyday vocabulary, that refers to a system based around the number 60. The Babylonians had specific, different symbols for each numeral up to 59.
