There are 5 letters to pick for the first spot in our new arranged word, 4 letters in the 2nd spot 3 for the 3rd spot 2 for the fourth spot and only 1 for the last spot. multiple those together (5*4*3*2*1) but because we have duplicate letters we have to divide by our number of duplicates (2) so our final number is 120/2 or 60 ways hope this helps =D
