Best Answer

Mormon handcart pioneers pulled the handcarts by hand and walked the whole way. Each handcart company brought a few wagons to carry the sick and wounded. On average, 4 to 6 people were assigned to a handcart. They could only bring as much clothing and supplies as they could pull. It took several months of walking 10 to 20 miles each day to reach Salt Lake City.

How interrupts increase the performance of the CPU?

Without interrupts the software must be continuously polling all of the hardware I/O devices to determine their status. Interrupts allow the hardware I/O devices to inform the software when their status has actually changed, thus the software can briefly suspend what it was doing to check the status of the one specific hardware I/O device that sent the interrupt and take care of it then resume what it was doing. Without having to spend all that time polling devices whose status has not changed much less processor time is wasted, thus increasing average performance. Being able to begin handling the device as soon as its status changes instead of having to wait for the next time it is polled, increases realtime performance.

No, Mormons believe that Jesus was crucified on a cross, just like most other Christians. Mormons believe and study the Bible throughly, so the accounts there are what we believe. Mormons dont however use the cross as a religious symbol like many other religions... Perhaps you are thinking of the Jehovah's Witnesses? They do not believe that Jesus died on a cross.

How long did it take the Mormons to get statehood?

"Mormons" are not a state, they are a religion. The Mormons have never been granted statehood, and doing so now would be near impossible as Mormons are scattered all over the globe and come from many different nations.The Mormons did once apply for statehood with the state of Deseret, a large area that covered much of what is now Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada. This was not granted by the federal government, who instead drew the state borders we have today. Mormons are credited with postponing Utah's statehood with their practice of polygamy. Mormons abandoned polygamy in 1890, and Utah was finally granted statehood in 1896.
