Answer:
This can be done in a total of 10 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a selection problem.
What we are trying to do is to properly select 3 week long camps from the total 5. we are looking for the number of ways in which we can do this.
Now, since this is a selection problem, the proper mathematical term and approach to use is the COMBINATION
Mathematically, having r items to pick from a total n, the number of ways to do this is nCr ways
which is mathematically equivalent to;
n!/(n-r)!r!
now applying this to the problem at hand, what we have is 5C3
= 5!/(5-3)!3! = 5!/2!3! = (5 *4)/2 = 20/2 = 10 ways
