Just try to follow my description. When two persons are in the cabin, there is only 1 handshake. When a third person comes, he will have to handshake the two people who came before him. So, there will be 2 handshakes. When a fourth person comes, he would make 3 handshakes with the 3 people who came before him. When the fifth person comes, he would make 4 handshakes with the 4 people who came before him. So, you see there is a pattern. The number of handshakes is 1 less than the total number of people inside the cabin. So, if there are 14 people in the cabin, the last person to come in would have to make 13 handshakes with the 13 people who came in first. Obtaining the sum of all the handshakes starting from the 2 handshakes initially to the 13 handshakes, the sum would be

Total handshakes = 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13
Total handshakes = 90

Therefore, there will be a total of 90 handshakes made within the cabin of 14 people.

An experienced cashier at a grocery store takes 2 seconds to scan each item and 40 seconds to process the customer's payment. 1)
grigory [225]

Answer:

The correct option is D) 43 items.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that total given time is ,

Y = (60\times2) +6 =126\hspace{0.15cm} sec,

Out of which cashier spends 40 seconds to process the customer's payment.

So the remaining time = (126 - 40) = 86 secs.

And the remaining time is used to scan the item and so that we can calculate here the no items scan is = (86 ÷ 2) = 43.

Therefore we can say that 43 items are being purchased.

Answer:

C)

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is 60 degree, and the whole circle is 360 degree, so we need to find 1/6 of the circumference of a circle, as C = 2*pi*r = 2*pi*3 = 6pi and 1/6 of it is pi.
