due in 2hrs plz help.....REWARD! Q: Mrs. Bake makes floral arrangements. She has 15 different cut flowers and plans to use 6. How many different selections of the 6 flowers are possible? (use combination)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15!/(15-6)!

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

15C6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15C6 ^ ^ number that we need to pick total number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got that part but what do you get when you solve it because i guess i do it wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15!/9!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15*14*13*12*11*10 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15C9 = 15!/((9!)((15-9)!) = 15!/((9!)(6!))=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i did tho?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

myko i got 360,360 but tht's wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

devide it by 6*5*4*3*2 and you get the right answer. My bad, forgot that order doesn't count

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Combinations = 15!/(15-6)!6! that's the right equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):
