There are 8 people at a party each person shakes hands with everybody else once how many handshakes are there?
28. The formula is (n * (n-1)) / 2, where n represents the number of people. You divde by 2 because each handshake covers two possibilities (ie, person #1 to person #8 is the same as person #8 to person #1).
If 20 people complete a work in 5 houshow many people are required to complete that work in 1 hour?
If the work that is required is the same amount, then the work to people ratio is 5:20. To get to 1 hour, you need to divide the amount of time by 5. Since you are going to need more people to complete the work, you then multiply the number of people by 5, and 20*5=100. Therefore, you need 100 people to complete the work in 1 hour.

If theres 66 handshakes how many people are at the party?
If there are n people who shake hands with each other exactly once, it can be observed that there are n x (n-1) handshakes. Since each handshake is counted twice here,we divide this by 2. Therefore, total number of handshakes is n(n-1)/2. In the given problem, Given: Total handshakes =66 i.e n(n-1)/2=66 n2-n =132 n2-n-132=0 (n-12)(n+11)=0 n =12 or n= -11 As handshakes cannot be negative we discard 11 . Therefore answer is , 12 people.
How many handshakes if there would be a total of 11 people in a room?
Since order doesn't matter and repetition is not allowed for this situation, we use combination. For instance, if person 1 gave a handshake with person 2, then there is no need for person 2 to do that with person 1. This is considered to be already a handshake. You get 11 choose 2 = 55 handshakes.
