Question

A group of campers is going to occupy campsites at a campground. There are 16 campsites from which to choose. In how many ways can the campsites be​ chosen?

Answer 1

The campsites can be chosen in 5,765,760 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a group of campers is going to occupy 6 campsites at a campground, and there are 16 campsites from which to choose, to determine in how many ways the campsites can be chosen, the following calculation must be performed:

16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 = X

240 x 182 x 132 = X

240 x 24,024 = X

5,765,760 = X

Therefore, the campsites can be chosen in 5,765,760 different ways.
