Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

30 Ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The word SEEDS has 5 letters.  

There are 3 different (distinguishable) letters. Respectively there are two identical letters S and two identical letters E.

Following to the logic of the n 2), we must divide 120 (the total number of formal permutations of 5 symbols) by (2*2) = 4.

As a result, the final formula for the number of arrangements in this case is represented below;

$5! / 2 * 2 =\\120 / 4 =\\30\\\\Solution = 30 Ways$
