Answer 9!/3!2!=30240 Note there are three a's and two p's and a total of 9 letters in apparatus. So there are 9 choices for the first letter, and 8 for the next, then 7 for the third etc. The we divide by 3! and 2! to avoid overcounting. The answer is 9!/3!2! The numerator can be written as 9! which is pronounced 9 factorial. Then we divide that by 3! times 2! In general if you have have n letters, there are n! words you can make, However, if some of the letters are repeated you must divide to avoid overcounting. If letter a is repeated r1 times, b r2 times, c r3 times.. etc, Then the number of words is n!/r1!r2!r3!

How many different 5 letter arrangements can be formed from the letters in the word Danny?

The number of 5 letter arrangements of the letters in the word DANNY is the same as the number of permutations of 5 things taken 5 at a time, which is 120. However, since the letter N is repeated once, the number of distinct permutations is one half of that, or 60.


How many distinct arrangements can be formed from all the letters of student In statics?

To find the number of distinct arrangements of the letters in "student," we first note that the word contains 7 letters, with the letter 't' appearing twice. The formula for distinct arrangements of letters is given by ( \frac{n!}{p_1! \times p_2! \times \ldots \times p_k!} ), where ( n ) is the total number of letters and ( p_i ) are the frequencies of the repeated letters. For "student," this results in: [ \frac{7!}{2!} = \frac{5040}{2} = 2520. ] Thus, there are 2,520 distinct arrangements of the letters in "student."


How many different arrangements of 5 letters can be formed if the first letter must be W or K and 8203 (repeats of letters are and 8203 allowed)?

If the first letter must be either W or K, there are 2 choices for the first letter. For the remaining 4 letters, since repeats are allowed, each can be any of the 26 letters in the alphabet. Therefore, the total number of arrangements is (2 \times 26^4), which equals (2 \times 456976 = 913952).

How many 4 letter words can you get using aaggre?

To find the number of distinct 4-letter words that can be formed from the letters in "aaggre," we first note the available letters: a, a, g, g, r, e. The distinct combinations of letters can vary depending on how many times each letter is used. For instance, if we select two 'a's, we can combine them with different arrangements of 'g's, 'r', and 'e' to form words. The total number of distinct 4-letter combinations can be calculated by considering the different cases based on the repetitions of letters, leading to a total of 30 unique arrangements.
