Drew can choose the order of the 4 assignments he plans to complete today from a total of 120 ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Drew has 5 assignments to complete, and he plans to complete 4 of them today and the remaining assignment tomorrow. The order in which he completes the 4 assignments today can be determined using the concept of permutations.
The number of ways to choose the order of the 4 assignments can be calculated using the formula for permutation:
Number of permutations = nPr = n! / (n - r)!
Here, n is the total number of assignments (5) and r is the number of assignments to be completed today (4).
So, the number of ways Drew can choose the order of the 4 assignments he plans to complete today is:
Number of permutations = 5P4 = 5! / (5 - 4)! = 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 ways.
