Catherine rolls a 6-sided die five times, and the product of her rolls is 1500. How many different sequences of rolls could there have been? (The order of the rolls matters.)

1500  =

 

3 * 5  *  5^2  *  2^2  = 

 

3 *  5^3  * 2^2

 

Possible combos

35554   =  5! / 3!   =     20  identifiable sequences

55562  =   5!  /3!  =      20  identifiable squences

 

So....just as  the guest found......40  identifiable sequences  !!!

 

cool cool cool
