You can put this solution on YOUR website! Abbie, Ben and Cali will sit in a row in a theater. What is the probability that they will sit in alphabetical order, from left to right? Express your answer as a common fraction.
-------------------------------------
Put A,B,C in alphabetical order: 2 ways (left to right and right to left)
-----------
# of ways to arrange A,B,C: 3! = 6
------------
P(alphabetical order) 2/6 = 1/3
