(a) how many ways can the letters of the word minutes be arranged in a row? (b) how many ways can the letters of the word minutes be arranged in a row if m and i must remain next to each other as either mi or im? .

Respuesta :

1440 combinations ways.

We know that the total arrangements will be

6!= 720 because its a 6letter word

So if we take MI to be a one letter word

Same for IM

which will Also be 6!= 720

SO TOTAL possible combination will be 720+720= 1440

How do you find possible combinations?

Combinations are a way to calculate the total outcomes of an event where order of the outcomes does not matter. To calculate combinations, we will use the formula nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!, where n represents the total number of items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.
