Question

Determine whether the situation involves permutations or combinations. Then solve. How many ways are there to place an algebra book, a geometry book, a chemistry book, an English book, and a health book on a shelf?

Answer 1

Answer:

The situation involves permutation

The number of arrangement is 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Algebra book=1  

Geometry book=1

Chemistry book= 1

English book= 1

Health book= 1

Total number of books N = (1+1+1+1+1)= 5

      Permutation is used to  determines the number of possible arrangements in a set when the order of the arrangements is crucial.

Number of arrangements = N!

Number of arrangements= 5*4*3*2*1=  120
