The owner of a bookstore asked her regular customers to rank 3 items from a list of products that she would like to bring to the store. The list included the following 6 items: bookmarks, picture frames, greeting cards, pens, stationery, and gift wrap. How many different ways can the customers rank 3 products from the list?

40 ways. 6!/3!(6-3)! =120. We are only trying to find 3 ways. 120 is the total, 120/30 =40. So 40 is the answer.
