Q. Three students, Camila, Josiah, and Kennedy, line up one behind the other. How many different ways can they stand in line?Answer:
Identify the Problem: Identify the problem.We need to find the number of different ways three students can stand in line. This is a permutation problem where order matters.
Determine Permutations: Determine the number of permutations.For the first position in line, there are 3 choices (Camila, Josiah, or Kennedy). Once the first person is chosen, there are 2 remaining choices for the second position. Finally, there is only 1 choice left for the third position.
Calculate Permutations: Calculate the number of permutations.The number of different ways they can stand in line is 3 (choices for the first position) ×2 (choices for the second position) ×1 (choice for the third position).3×2×1=6
