24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0x1x2x3x4

OpenStudy (immanuelv):

that would be "0"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ignore the 0, thats how you do it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant 4!

OpenStudy (immanuelv):

well... this uses combination or permutation... i'm not sure... but answer my friend got was 96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but theres no repeats, so its a permutation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 120 now

OpenStudy (immanuelv):

well then could it be.... 1*4*4*3*2??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or would it be 1*2*3*4*5 because there are five digits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not thenumbers that are important, but the digits and the fact they dont repeat

OpenStudy (immanuelv):

but isnt that saying that there is 5 ways to put the last number?

OpenStudy (immanuelv):

well then three is but the number cannot repeat!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the way i was taught was to draw out 5 lines, and figure out how many numbers can fill each space/ _ _ _ _ _ 5 can fill the first space because we have 5 digits that cann be used. the next space would be 4 because we cannot reuse the letter we used in the first space and so on making it 5*4*3*2*1
