Your class is in groups, working on a combinatorics worksheet. One of the questions asks how many possible ways 5 books out of a

box of 12 can be placed on a shelf. Your classmate suggests you calculate 12C5, which is 792. What would you say to explain how this suggestion is flawed, and how would you help correct them

Answer: 95040

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to note that selection and arrangement are two different things in permutation and combination study. In the scenario above, we have 12 books, out of which 5 is to be arranged on a shelf. The answer prescribed by 12C5 which gives 792, only solves the selection process of choosing 5 books from a total of 12. Every 5 books picked will also have to be arranged on the shelf which is solved as n!(number of ways of arranging n different objects)

Hence, to arrange 5 books from a total of 12 books on a book shelf is

nCr * r!

12C5 * 5!

792 * 120

= 95040

To solve problem 1 what you need to do is figure out how many miles the girls have walked so far and then subtract that from the total distance they must complete.

3/4-(3/10+1/4)

Step 1:Change the denominators so that way they are all the same

3/4=15/20
3/10=6/20              15/20-(6/20+5/20)
1/4=5/20

Step 2: Begin solving the problem

6/20+5/20=11/20
15/20-11/20=4/20

Step 3: Simplify your answer

4/20=1/5

Step 4 (is optional): Write your answer in a complete statement

The three girls walk 1/5mile together to school

Answer: A

I hope this is correct and if not I apologize for giving false information.
