evaluate: 7!/5!2!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it: \[\frac{7!}{5! \cdot 2!}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can write : \[7! = 7 \times 6 \times 5!\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then cancel \(5!\) in numerator and denominator..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHHH! thats how you do it, thank you! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are welcome dear..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the answer you got?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow!! I mean how??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I HAVE HONESLY NO IDEA, math makes no sense to me, especially Algebra.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7!/5!2! =7*6*5*4*3*2*1/(5*4*3*2*1*2*1) =21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{7 \times 6 \times \cancel{5!}}{\cancel{5 !} \times 2!} \implies \frac{7 \times 6}{2 \times 1} \implies 21\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, makes sense!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Keep on making sense..
