Question

Each students in Ms. Wangs class will use a keyboard with 5 buttons on it to enter a 3-digit nunber. Each button has a different digit on it, from 1 through 5. (Some possible numbers are 111, 123, and 552.) How many different 3-digit numbers are possible for a student to enter?

Answer 1

The answer is 12 x 5= 60

Explanation:

Each number from the 5 digits becomes used with each other number that is used 5 x. This creates 4*2 =16 3^3=27 +2^3=16 +1^1 = 60
