How many different ways can the letters of “football” be arranged

<h3>Answer:   10,080</h3>

Explanation:

There are 8 letters so there are 8! = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 40,320 permutations of those letters. However, the letters "O" and "L" show up twice each, so we must divide by 2! = 2*1 = 2 for each instance this happens.

So,

(8!)/(2!*2!) = (40,320)/(2*2) = (40,320)/4 = 10,080

is the number of ways to arrange the letters of "football".

The reason we divide by 2 for each instance of a duplicate letter is because we can't tell the difference between the two "O"s or the two "L"s. If there was a way to distinguish between them, then we wouldnt have to divide by 2.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The Science Center charge less than the Dino Discovery museum for more then 10 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of students are x .

Let us assume that the total charge for x students be y.

As given

Mrs. Williams is deciding between two field trips for her class.

The Science Center charges $120 plus $5 per student.

Than the equations becomes

y = 120 + 5x

The Dino Discovery Museum simply charges $7 per student.

y = 7x

Than

120 + 5x < 7x

120 < 7x - 5x

120 < 2x

\frac{120}{12} < x

10 < x

Therefore the Science Center charge less than the Dino Discovery museum for more then 10 students.
