The number of handshakes that will occur in a group of eighteen people if each person shakes hands once with each other person in the group is 153 handshakes

In order to determine the number of handshakes that will occur among 18 people, that is, the number of ways we can choose 2 persons from 18 people.

∴ The number of handshakes = ^{18}C_{2}

^{18}C_{2} = \frac{18!}{(18-2)!2!}

^{18}C_{2} = \frac{18!}{16!2!}

^{18}C_{2} = \frac{18\times17\times16!}{16!\times2!}

^{18}C_{2} = \frac{18\times17}{2\times1}

^{18}C_{2} = \frac{306}{2}

^{18}C_{2} = 153

∴ The number of handshakes = 153 handshakes

Hence. 153 handshakes will occur in a group of eighteen people if each person shakes hands once with each other person in the group.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Mid point:

= ( \frac{3 +  - 5}{2} , \:  \frac{1 + 8}{2} ) \\  = ( - 1, \: 4.5)

distance:

=  \sqrt{ {( - 5 - 3)}^{2} +  {(1 - 8)}^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{64 + 49}  \\  =  \sqrt{113}  \\  = 10.6 \: units

slope:

=  \frac{1 - 8}{ - 5 - 3}  \\  =  \frac{ - 7}{ - 8}  \\  =  \frac{7}{8}

<h3>What is weight ?</h3>

Weight in maths is the value of the mass of an object on a measuring scale , It is measured in pound , ounce , kilogram etc.

It is given that

Total weight of green grapes = 5.65 lb

Total weight of red grapes = 3.07lb

Total weight = 5.65 +3.07 = 8.72   lb

Total number of bags = 16

the weight of each bag

= 8.72 / 16

= 0.545 lb

Therefore the weight of each bag is 0.545 lb .

The complete question is

Emilio bought 5.65lb  of green grapes and  3.07lb of red grapes. He divided the grapes equally into 16 bags. If each bag of grapes has the same weight, how much does each bag weigh?
