Respuesta :

There is a crossword that has three squares that need to be filled, how many possible three letter arrangements is 26!/23.

To find the number of possible three letter arrangements.

what is permutation and combination?

An arrangement of things in a certain sequence is what we refer to as a permutation. The constituents or components of sets are presented in this section in a sequential or chronological fashion. A coming together or merging of several parts or characteristics in which each of the constituent parts or traits retains its unique identity.

Given that:

26 possible letters

assuming you can repeat them

26*26*26

no listed

ok, lets assume that you can't repeat them

that is 26 times 25 times 24 (because you used 1 each time)

that is 26!/23 (because 26*25*24*23!=26!)

Hence, the number of possible three letter arrangements is 26!/23.
