Question 44683: An electrician must connect a red, a white and a black wire to a yellow, a blue, and a green wire in some order. How many different connnections are possible? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! red OR black OR white to yellow
for each of these possible colors,
there are 2 remaining possible to
connect to blue.
2 + 2 + 2 = 6 so far
Once these connections are made, there is
only 1 possible color to connect to green
B B R R W W - Y
R W B W B R - B
W R W B R B - G
6 x 1 = 6 possible
