Question

the letters of the word combine are placed at random in a row in how many ways can an arrangement occur such that all vowels are placed together​

Answer 1

Answer: 720

==========================================================

Explanation:

The word "combine" has three vowels o, i, and e.

One grouping of the three vowels together leads to oie, which we'll replace with Z for now.

So we have the "word" Zcmbn after taking out the vowels and replacing with Z temporarily. There are 5 letters in Zcmbn making 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 different permutations.

Within any permutation of Zcmbn, there are 3! = 3*2*1 = 6 ways to arrange the sequence oie

So overall there are 6*120 = 720 different ways to arrange the word "combine" such that all the vowels stick together.
