Question 843630: window with 4 panes: how many ways can you paint one pane blue? How many ways can you pint two panes blue? I tried fundamental counting principle: 1 x 4 = 4 different ways, but I think only 6 ways to paint two panes and 2 x 4 is not 6. thanks for the help Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Are we counting a+b as the same as b+a?
If they are the same then there are six ways.
a+b
a+c
a+d
b+c
b+d
c+d
You are correct 2*4 is not 6
