Answer:

The floats could appear in:

  • 6 different orders.

Explanation:

To facilitate the explanation, suppose that the floats have three different colors: White, blue and green, the possible orders that could be would be the following:

  1. White, blue and green.
  2. White, green and blue.
  3. Blue, green and white.
  4. Blue, white and green.
  5. Green, blue and white.
  6. Green, white and blue.

So the number of possible orders would be 6, in addition, to solve this type of exercise you can use the factor sign! with which, when adding it to a number inside your calculator it will identify all the possible orders, in this case it would be:

  • 3! = 6
