Explanation:

I kind of forgot but it should be 6

3!=6

for the first event there are three choices, then 2, then 1. You them multiply them all.

Im sorry if this made no sense lol, i will delete if people in the comments want to give a better explanation.

Answer:

6

Explanation:

Label them as variables

A, B, and C

Now try and list them

ABC

ACB

BAC

BCA

CAB

CBA

There should be 6

The more mathematical way is using factorials

So you would do 3! which is 3*2*1

This also gives you 6
