EXPRESSIONS

 

The  number of identifiable arrangements is givien by  :

 

[ Number of letters in the word] !  /  [  (multiple occurences of letter   ___) ! * (multiple occurences of letter  ___) !......  ]

 

So the number of letters in the word  =   11

 

The letter "e"  occurs twice  .....  and the  letter   "s" occurs 3 times  ......so we have....

 

11 !  / [ 2! * 3 ! ]  =  3,326,400 arrangements
