Question 1170759


 It's asking if losing the letters M , A, T and H how many three letter words can we form using that? 

So for a we are allowed to repeat were allowed to repeat this letter. 
As our first letter, we're gonna go ahead and multiply it by the number of possibilities in our for our second letter. 


if {{{repetition}}} of letters is {{{allowed}}}, there's four possibilities for the first letter, there's four possibilities for the second letter, and four possibilities for the third letter

multiply all of that:{{{ 4*4*4= 64}}} possibilities


if {{{repetition }}}of letters is {{{not}}}{{{ allowed}}}, you can use three distinct letters in

 {{{4*3*2=24 }}}possibilities
