Answer 1

a) 6 ways

b) 6 ways

Explanation:

a) for all of the letters

for the first letter, we have 3 options

for the second, we have 2 options

for the third, we have 1 option

So the number of options will be;

3 * 2 * 1 = 6

b) for the first, we have 3 options, for the second, we have 2 options

so the number of options will be 3 * 2 = 6 options
