In how many ways can the letters of the word ACCURACY be rearranged?
I thought 13440 because 7!/3!*2!
Hi Jason!
Let's write the word "ACCURACY" as below:
A C U R Y (This is just listening the letters, and any repeated letter below each other; thus making counting repeats easier.)
A C
C
Total number of letters = 8 (You used 7, not 8)
Repeated C = 3
Repeated A = 2
Therefore ,\(\frac{8!}{3!*2!}\) = 3360 ways
(We divide the total by the number of the repeated, and accounting for their permutations by using !).
I hope this helps :)!
