The word "math" consists of 4 distinct letters: m, a, t, and h. To find the number of three-letter arrangements, we can use the permutation formula for selecting and arranging 3 letters from 4 distinct letters, which is given by ( P(n, r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} ). Here, ( n = 4 ) and ( r = 3 ), so the calculation is ( P(4, 3) = \frac{4!}{(4-3)!} = \frac{4!}{1!} = 4 \times 3 \times 2 = 24 ). Thus, there are 24 different three-letter arrangements.
