Question

At a competition with 7 runners, medals are awarded for first, second, and
third places. Each of the 3 medals is different. How many ways are there to
award the medals?
Decide if this is a permutation or a combination, and find the number of ways
to award the medals.

Answer 1

Answer:

35 different combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be a combination because the same person cannot get all three medals so permutation is not the correct way to calculate this. We use the formula C(n,r)=(nr)=n!(r!(n−r)!)=? where n is the number of total objects and r is the number of objects taken from the total.
