Answer:
Letters can be chosen in 12 different ways, if order matters, or 6 different ways, if order doesn't matter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we want to choose 2 letters, without replacement, from the 4 letters A, B, C, and D, to determine in how many ways can this be done, if the order of the choices matters, and in how many ways can this be done, if the order of the choices does not matter, the following calculations must be performed:
If order matters =
(4 x 3 x 2 x 1) / 2 = X
24/2 = X
12 = X
If the order doesn't matter =
12/2 = X
6 = X
Therefore, letters can be chosen in 12 different ways, if order matters, or 6 different ways, if order doesn't matter.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1 </u>
<u>OR</u>
<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
It is required to compare Two-fifths, Six-sevenths, Five-eighths, and 1
Two-fifths = 2/5
Six-sevenths = 6/7
Five-eighths = 5/8
So, the given numbers are: 2/5, 6/7, 5/8, and 1
We need to make the numbers in order from the least to the greatest or from the greatest to the least
The easy method is convert the rational numbers to decimal numbers
So,
2/5 = 0.4
6/7 ≈ 0.857
5/8 = 0.625
1 = 1
So, the numbers form the least to the greatest are:
0.4 , 0.625 , 0.857 , 1
So,
2/5 , 5/8 , 6/7 , 1
The inequality correctly compares the numbers are:
<u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1</u>
Or can be written from the greatest to the least as:
<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5 </u>
The answer to this problem is 1 :)
