thank you one of my answer choices was 9!

calculusxy · Answer

I am not exactly sure whether that would be correct because if you solve for 9!, then you would get 362,880

calculusxy · Answer

Logically, I think that number is too big.

calculusxy · Answer

What I would do is actually multiply 4 routes $\times$  3 routes $\times$ 2 routes because these are the options of routes that you have. Basically you can take 24 different routes to go there.
