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.

A middle school campus is shaped like a rectangle with a width of 1/4 mile and a length of 1/2 mile. A map of the campus has a w
igomit [66]

Answer:

A) 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

#We first calculate the campus' area:

a=lw\\\\=\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}\\=0.125 \ mi^2

#We then calculate the campus' map area in square ft:

A=lw\\\\=0.5 \times 1\\\\=0.5 ft^2

Ratio is a comparison between two dimensions:

Ratio=\frac{0.125}{0.5}\\\\=0.25\\\\=\frac{1}{4}\\\\=1:4

Hence, the ratio of the area in square miles of the campus to the area in square feet of the map is 1:4
