Sagot :

Let's use the counting principle:

[tex]\begin{gathered} Let: \\ n=number_{\text{ }}slots=5 \\ T=Total_{\text{ }}number_{\text{ }}of_{\text{ }}ways \end{gathered}[/tex]

so:

[tex]T=n\cdot(n-1)\cdot(n-2)...1=n![/tex]

So:

[tex]\begin{gathered} T=5! \\ T=120 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer:

120
