you and your mom enter a drawing with 3 different prizes. a total of 10 people entered the drawing, and prizes are awarded randomly. there are 720 ways to award the prizes

Answer:
The correct option is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of people who entered the drawing = 10
Number of prizes = 3
Number of ways to award the prize = 720 ways
The total number of ways that 3 prizes can be awarded to the 10 people can be determined as:
10*9*8 = 720
The total number of ways in which I win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be 1*1*8 = 8
Thus the probability that i win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be 8/720 ....
