a automobile race contains 15 racecars. in how many ways can the racecars finish in first, second, and third place?

Respuesta :

There are 2730 ways in which 15 race cars can finish in first, second, and third place.

Let's examine this logically now. Any one of the 15 runners can cross the finish line in first place. You can still have any one of the 14 race cars who are still running finish in second place. Any one of the 13 race cars who haven't crossed the finish line yet can take third place.

As a result, multiplying all the possibilities will give us the number of ways ;

Number of ways =15*14*13

                            =2730

So, the total number of ways in which the race cars finish in first, second, and third place is 2730.
