0.1 or 1/10 yards

So we know that Colton cut 1⁄2 of a yard of ribbon into equal pieces to make the decorations so what we can do is take that 1⁄2 and divided by 5 because we know that there are 5 dancers at his year end dance performance.

1⁄2 in a decimal form is 0.5 so 0.5 divided by 5 equals 0.1 or 1/10.

Using the permutation formula, it is found that there are 17,297,280 different signals consisting of 8 flags.

In this problem, the order in which the flags are visited is important, hence the <em>permutation formula</em> is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the permutation formula?</h3>

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by:

$P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$
