The answer is 5. If you do 3/8 x 4 you get 1.5, if you multiply 1/2 x 3 you get 1.5, if you do 1/4 x 3 you get .75 and if you do 5/8 x 2 you get 1.25. So, 1.5 + 1.5 + .75 + 1.25 = 5
Answer:
True.
Step-by-step explanation:
C(4, 3) means the number of combinations from 4 items taking 3 at a time. We are selecting 3 distinct items and it doesn't say anything about the order in which they are selected , so we use a combination formula not a permutation ( where order does matter).
C(4, 3) = 4! / 3! 1!
= 4*3*2*1 / 3*2*1*1
= 4.
There are 4 ways to select 3 items from 4.
