Answer:

1, 2 and 5 all know each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will denote the people by numbers: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

The following information is given in the question.

1 knows two others

2 knows five others

3 knows five others

4 knows six others

5 knows six others

Let's assume the worst case: They all know different persons, so it is difficult to find three people who all know each other.

1 knows 2 and 5

2 knows 1 3 4 5 6

3 knows 9 8 7 6 2

By now, 2, 5 and 6 are known to two people, and others are known to just one person.

4 knows 9 8 7 6 5 3

5 knows 1 2 4 7 8 9

As a result 1, 2 and 5 all know each other.

1 knows 2 and 5

2 knows 1 and 5

5 knows 1 and 2

The reason for this is that there are three groups:

1, (2,3) and (4,5)

As much as we try to separate the people that they know there are nine different persons and at least three of them will be spread to these groups in common.

What is the approximate area of the circle shown below?
Lelu [443]

Hey there!

Formula: πr^2

r = radius

pi = 3.1415926535898 (but we can say it approximately equals 3.14)

Your equation (3.14)(4.2)^2 = answer

4.2^2 = 4.2 × 4.2 = 17.64

New equation: 17.64 × 3.14 = 55.3896

We round our answer to the nearest tenth

Answer: 55.4 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

A new price of an item is $39.32. The percent increase was 16%. What was the original price?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

let x =the original price

then 116x/100=$39.32

116x=100×39.32

116x=3932

divide both sides by 116

116x/116=3932/116

x=33.89655

(2dp)

x=33.90
