Solution:
As always, try to find a way of looking at the problem that makes the solution simple. In this problem, regardless of the current state of the puzzle, a move consists of combining two clusters into a single cluster. Therefore every move reduces the number of clusters by 1. Since we begin with 2000 clusters (the single pieces) and end with 1 cluster, we need
\[2000-1=\boxed{1999}\]
moves to complete the puzzle.
Answer:
-73, -34, 0.5, 1.2, 23
Step-by-step explanation:
In Mathematics, the set of numbers are arranged in two ways. It means that the numbers can be arranged either in ascending order or descending order. If the numbers are arranged from the least to the greatest, then it is called ascending order. In this form, the numbers are in increasing order. The first number should be lesser than the second number.
If the numbers are arranged from the greatest to the least, then it is called descending order. In this form, the numbers are in decreasing form. The first number should be greater than the second number.
Also, read: Descending Order
Standard Form
<em>The standard form to represent the least to the greatest arrangement </em>of numbers is given by:
a < b < c < d < …..
Here,
a, b, c, d represent the numbers
Example: 2 < 5 < 7 < 8
