For the first letter, you can have any of 5 choices. Then for the next, you can have any of four. Then for the next, three and so on. Thus the number of permutations can be calculated by 5x4x3x2x1. Doing this gives 120.

Therefore the number of permutations of the letters in the word smart is 120.

How many different arrangements of 7 letters can be formed from the letters in the word ALGEBRA?

The number of 7 letter permutations of the word ALGEBRA is the same as the number of permutation of 7 things taken 7 at a time, which is 5040. However, since the letter A is duplicated once, you have to divide by 2 in order to find out the number of distinct permutations, which is 2520.


In how many different ways can the letters of the word ARISE be arranged?

The number of different ways the letters of a word can be arranged, when all the letters are different, is the same as the number of permutations of those letters. In this case, the answer is 5!, or 120.


How many ways can you rearrange the letters in the word pencil?

To calculate the number of ways the letters in the word "pencil" can be rearranged, we first determine the total number of letters, which is 6. Since there are two repeated letters (the letter 'e'), we divide the total number of letters by the factorial of the number of times each repeated letter appears. This gives us 6! / 2! = 360 ways to rearrange the letters in the word "pencil."


How many ways to rearrange the letters of the word 'CHEESE'?

CHEESE cheese has 6 letters in it. if you have a word with different letters, you do the factorial of the number of letters there are. but you can not do that in this word. since it has 3 E's, then you mut do 6!(factorial) divided by 3! then the answer would be 120


How many arrangements of the letters in the word SCHOOLS are there?

The number of permutations of the letters in the word SCHOOLS is the number of permutations of 7 things taken 7 at a time, which is 5040. However, since two of the letters, S and O, are duplicated, the number of distinct permutations is one fourth of that, or 1260.
