You now have 8 identical pieces of fruit. You would like to distribute all 8 of these pieces of fruit to your friends A, B, and C with no conditions (for example, one of your friends could receive all 8 pieces of fruit). In how many different ways can this be done

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:
