How many ways can you arrange 5 items?. 5!=120
2)Using only the odd digits (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) how many different 3-digit numbers can you form (repetitions are allowed)?
There are 5 digits and repetition is allowed. So, we have 5 for the first choice, 5 for the second, and 5 for the third.
3)The menu at the cafeteria lists 3 different sandwiches, 6 different drinks, and 5 varieties of chips. How many different sandwich/chip/drink meals are possible?
Just multiply them together. 3*6*5=90
