If I have eight numbers and i am tasked to decide which of the set of given numbers is the smallest comparing 2 numbers at a time, I will have 28 comparisons in all. Trying all combinations for the first number, you have 7. Trying all combinations for the second number nit including its comparison to the first number (because it will be redundant), you will have 6 comparisons an so on. Adding it all up, you have 7+6+5+4+3+2+1=28.

Toni can carry up to 18 Ib in her backpack. Her lunch weighs 1 1b,her gym clothes weigh 2 1b, and her books (b) weigh 31b each.H
Goshia [24]

Answer:

5 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

She can carry 18 pounds in total. She already has her lunch and her gym clothes inside her bag, which take up 1 + 2 = 3 pounds. Since 3 pounds are taken, that leaves 18 - 3 = 15 pounds for her books. Each book is 3 pounds, so she can carry 15/3 = 5 books in her backpack.

Answer:
