57 athletes are running a race. A gold medal is to be given to the winner, a silver medal is to be given to the second place finisher, and a bronze medal is to be given to the third place finisher. Assume there are no ties. How many ways can the three metals be distributed?

Hello~

Okay so lets try dividing.

57 divided by 3?

Well that's equal to 19!

So it can be distributed into 19 ways. (people)
