Question

it is tim's 4th birthday and he has a cake with 4 candles on it. tim makes a wish and tries to blow out the candles. every time he blows, tim blows out some number of candles between 1 and the number that remain, including both 1 and that number. how many ways are there for tim to blow out the candles on the cake?

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

If Tim blows out one candle, there are 3 remaining. Then he blows another making 2 left. And finally he blows again leaving 1 left.

4x3x2x1 = 24.

There are 24 different ways to blow out his candle. We must multiply all the numbers together from greatest to least, and then we get the answer. The answer is 24.

Hope this helped :)
