pairs of jeans and want to take 2 with you. how many different ways can you pick 2 pairs of jeans.
Please proofread your posts.
To determine the number of different ways you can pick 2 pairs of jeans out of a given number, you can use the combination formula. The formula for combinations is:
C(n, r) = n! / (r! * (n-r)!)
Where "n" represents the total number of options (in this case, the number of pairs of jeans), and "r" represents the number of options you want to select (in this case, 2 pairs).
So, let's say there are 5 different pairs of jeans from which you want to select 2. Plugging the values into the formula, we have:
C(5, 2) = 5! / (2! * (5-2)!)
Simplifying the expression:
C(5, 2) = 5! / (2! * 3!)
Since factorial (n!) represents the product of all positive integers from 1 to n, we have:
C(5, 2) = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / ((2 * 1) * (3 * 2 * 1))
Cancelling out the common terms:
C(5, 2) = (5 * 4) / (2 * 1)
C(5, 2) = 10
Therefore, there are 10 different ways you can select 2 pairs of jeans from a set of 5 pairs.
