Aubrey's parents are signing her up for summer camps. If there are 5 weeklong camps to choose from, in how many orders can they select 3 of the camps to sign her up for?

This can be done in a total of 10 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a selection problem.

What we are trying to do is to properly select 3 week long camps from the total 5. we are looking for the number of ways in which we can do this.

Now, since this is a selection problem, the proper mathematical term and approach to use is the COMBINATION

Mathematically, having r items to pick from a total n, the number of ways to do this is nCr ways

which is mathematically equivalent to;

n!/(n-r)!r!

now applying this to the problem at hand, what we have is 5C3

= 5!/(5-3)!3! = 5!/2!3! = (5 *4)/2 = 20/2 = 10 ways

yo answer should be 6 if im not mistaken
