Problema Solution
You are arranging a flower garden. If you have 3 orange flowers, 4 red flowers, and 3 purple flowers, how many distinguishable permutations are there? (flowers of the same color are considered identical)
Answer provided by our tutors
10 flowers
3 distinct groups, with 3, 4, and 3 members in each group
distinguishable permutations:
10!/(3! * 4! * 3!) = 4200
there would be 4200 distinguishable permutations
