Question

Find the number of ways to arrange the letters in the following words:
A: Ohio
B: Alabama
C: Illinois
D: Mississippi
E: Tennessee

Answer 1

I will assume we are not distinguishing between small and capital letters.

I will do one:
TENNESSEE
- 9 total, 2 N's , 4 E's, 2 S's

total number of ways
= 9!/(2!4!2!) = 3780

Can you see what I did ?

OHIO ----> 4!/(2!) = 12

try the others.

Answer 2

I don't understand how you got them? I have tried to figure this out and can't get the right answer on how you got your answers.

Answer 3

I got 144 for TENNESSEE (9*1*2*4*2) and I got 16 for OHIO (4*2*2). I don't understand how you got your numbers and if I am doing this wrong?
