Which means that the answer is 351

Explain:

There are 27  students in room 9, and if 2 students shook hands with each other that would relate to 1 handshake. So if 3 students shook hands that would calculate up to 3 handshakes and you keep going, the answer would be 351.

Answer: 351

This is a maths problem solving activity that Asmah and I have done. It was to calculate how many handshakes will there be with 27 students in Room 9 A.K.A. Awesome class.
Asmah and I have worked collaboratively.
