There are 5 cars to be displayed in 5 parking spaces, with all the cars facing the same direction. of the 5 cars, 3 are red, 1 is blue, and 1 is yellow. if the cars are identical except for color, how many different display arrangements of the 5 cars are possible?

Respuesta :

For questions like these, I believe you use permutations. Basically you mutiply all the numbers in the set together. so in this case there are five, so you multiply numbers 1-5 together in order to get the total arrangements possible.

For example :
[tex]1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 = 120[/tex]
There you go :)
