Answer 1

A tree diagram can be used to show all the possible orders in which Ryan can read the 3 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tree diagram can be used to show all the possible orders in which Ryan can read the 3 books. Since Ryan has 3 books, there are 3 possibilities for the first book, 2 possibilities for the second book, and 1 possibility for the third book. Therefore, the total number of possible orders is 3 x 2 x 1 = 6. The tree diagram below shows all the possible orders:
