Answer to Math Quiz (2)

Hi 3 Faith

The answer is finally here! Are you excited?

Question:
If there are FIVE people in a room and each shakes hand exactly once with everyone else in the room, how many handshakes will there be?


Okay, I have attached a picture here to help you understand it better. The coloured dots represent people. Each line between the dots represents a handshake. The numbers represent the number of handshakes. Remember the handshake is not supposed to be repeated.

Answer:
10 handshakes


It is best to act it out with 4 other people. It really helps in your understanding.
