Answer:

See Step-by-step.

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple trick when dividing fractions is to flip the second fraction then multiply. For example if the equation is $\frac{a}{b} / \frac{c}{d}$ , Flip c and d and change the sign to multiply. $\frac{a}{b} * \frac{d}{c}$ .

So for this, we first flip 6/7 to 7/6, then multiply. 12/17 * 7/6. We multiply the numerators together and the denominators together, so 12 * 7 = 84, and 17 * 6 = 102. 84/102 Is our answer, but we can simplify this down to 14/17.

Answer:

The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are 10 people in the party .

To Find: Assuming all 10 people at the party each shake hands with every other person (but not themselves, obviously) exactly once, how many handshakes take place?

Solution:

We are given that there are 10 people in the party

No. of people involved in one handshake = 2

To find the no. of possible handshakes between 10 people we will use combination over here

Formula : $^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$
