town m town n town o town p town q town r ; town a town b town c town d town e town f in the table above , what is the least number of table entries that are needed to show the mileage between each town and each of the other 5 towns ?
easy way to go about this problem is we have 6 * 6 = 36 enteries in table the least number of enteries would be ( 36 - 6 ) / 2 since 6 enteries represent the distances between same points . alternatively this can be solved as combination problem . correct answer e
divide(multiply(multiply(const_2, const_3), 5), const_2)
