You started with a total of 28 muffins

<h3>How to determine the amount you started with?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Proportion carried away = 16 of the total muffins

Proportion carried away = 4/7 of the total muffins

The above parameters implies that

4/7 of the total muffins = 16

Represent the amount you started with x

So, we have the following representation

4/7 of x = 16

Express as products

4/7x = 16

Make x the subject

x = 7 * 16/4

Evaluate

x = 28

Hence, the total number of muffins is 28

There are 6 letters, each different
Before MOTHER, words from E , H will come
Words from E = 5! (there are 5 letters to arrange)
Words from H = 5!( there are 5 letters to arrange)

Now words starting by M will come.
First ME will have = 4! (as 4 letters will be arranged)
Then MH = 4!
Now words with MO<span>
</span><span>First words starting with MOE... =3!
And words starting with MOH... =3!
the words starting with MOR... =3!

Now, words starting from MOT will come
words starting with MOTE.. = 2!
then after words starting from MOTH will come and first word will MOTHER

so, total no. of words before MOTHER = 5! + 5! + 2* 4! + 3 * 3!
= 120 +120 + 48 + 18
= 306
so, rank of MOTHER = 307</span>
