Answer:

Lets call the people A,B,C,D and E. We need to find an example where there are not 3 mutual friends and not three mutual enemies.

Lets start by assuming that A has 2 friends, B and C, and 2 enemies, D and E.

Since we want A,B and C not to be mutually friends, then B and C neccesarily have to be enemies.

Now, since B and C are enemies, they cant be enemies at the same time with D, and they also cant be enemies at the same time with E. Therefore one of them has to be friends with D and one has to be friends with E.

Also, since D and E are enemies with A, they neccesarily need to be friends.

From the fact that D and E are friends, we coclude that they cant have a friend in common, as a consequence, B has to be friends with one of D and E and C has to be friend with the other. We can assume that B is friend with D and C is friend with E. If we use that, we have the following friendship configuration

---------------------

Friends of A: B, C

Enemies of A: D,E

-------------------------

Friends of B: A,D

Enemies of B: C, E

------------------------

Friends of C: A,E

Enemies of C: B,D

------------------------

Friends of D: B,E

Enemies of D: A,C

----------------------------

Friends of E: C,D

Enemies of E:  A,B

--------------------------

As you can check, there is not three mutual friends nor three mutual enemies.

What is 64 minutes as mixed number? (i'm pretty sure it might be
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

64 minutes is the same thing as 64/60 minutes.

64 goes into 60 once. 64-60=4, so that would be your numerator. You would keep the denominator as 60, since it's still out of 60.

If you put those numbers together your fraction would be

1 and 4/60, if you want to simplify, 60/4=15, so 1 and 1/15 would be your fraction.

Hope this helped!
