Question 247357: In the past, a local telephone number in the U.S. consisted of a sequence of
two letters followed by five digits. Three letters were associated with each number from 2
to 9 (just as in the standard telephone layout shown in the figure) so that each telephone
number corresponded to a sequence of 7 digits. How many different sequences of 7 digits
were possible? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In the past, a local telephone number in the U.S. consisted of a sequence of
two letters followed by five digits. Three letters were associated with each number from 2 to 9 (just as in the standard telephone layout shown in the figure) so that each telephone number corresponded to a sequence of 7 digits. How many different sequences of 7 digits were possible?
----------------------------------------
Assuming that both letters and digits can be repeated
the number of sequences would be 26^2*8^2 = 43,264
