How many different ways can 5 fruits be arranged in a picture using 3 fruits at a time.
If you are asking how many groups of 3 fruits can be used in the picture
when you are choosing from 5 fruits, the answer is 5C3 = [5*4]/[1*2]=10
If you are asking about the number of ways to line up the three fruits
in the picture the answer is 5*4*3= 60
I can't tell from your description which of these is the correct response.
Cheers,
Stan H.
