Can u help me with as many of these problems as u can... please show work so i can see how u got it.. (even if u can figure out only 1 It'll be helpful)
1. Four old friends meet. If each one shakes hands with each of the others, how many handshakes are there alltogether?
2. Two cars are traveling in the same direction on a road. The car that leads is traveling at 46 miles per hour. The other car is traveling at 70 miles per hour. How many miles apart will they be 30 minutes before the faster car catches the slower one?
3. Write a numeral with 6 nines whose value is 100. No operation symbols may be used, but a decimal point or fraction bar may be used
4. An ancient ruler often condemned to death the people he no longer favored. However, he amused himself by giving his victims a chance to live if they were both clever and lucky.
The victim was given 6 vials filled with water, and 2 boxes . He was to arrange the 12 vials in the 2 boxes. He could put any number he liked in each box, but he had to put at least one vial in each. After he had put all the vials into the boxes, the ruler would first select one of the boxes and then draw out one vial from the box. The victim would have to drink its contents.
What arrangement of vials in the boxes gives the condemned man the best chance of avoiding the poison?
