Answer 2

Eli Whitney's cotton gin resolved separating the seeds from the cotton.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cotton ginis a machin e that quickly and easily separates cotton fibers from their seeds, which are sometimes sticky. The gin uses a screen and small wire hooks that push the cotton through it, while brushes continuously remove the loose cotton threads to avoid clogging.

This was developed by Eli Whitney in 1793. This small machine allowed this separation at high speed and economically, being able to supply the growing demand for raw cotton after the invention of the loom.
