math extra credit

[durza998]

In my math class there is an extra credit question. it states "there are five rings on the olympic flag. How different ways can they be arranged?"

I wan't a way to solve it, not an answer, so no answers please. Thanks!

its the factorial of 5 commonly written a x! or in your case 5! which means 1*2*3*4*5=your answer...

how i got the answer?... simple... i have 5 different colors...

first ring i can pick 1 of 5 colors

second ring i have 4 colors left to pick from

third i have 3 colors and so on...

hope i helped and happy multiplying
