I’m not sure how to solve this problem. If someone could explain the steps I’d be very grateful!
"If you were planting 10 flowers in a row and 5 of them were red, 3 of them were yellow, and 2 of them were purple, in how many different looking arrangements could the 10 flowers be arranged?"
Dear fournier,
There are ten positions in the row you are planting. Imagine that you decide where to plant the red flowers first, and that flowers are not distinguished by any other features. Then there are C(10, 5) different placements possible for these five flowers, where C(n,k) = n! / [k! (n - k)!] (known as the binomial coefficient, which is the number of ways that exactly k items can be chosen from a set of n items). This leaves five positions for the other flowers. If you decide where to plant the yellow flowers next, then there are C(10 – 5, 3) = C(5, 3) different placements for these flowers, given the positions of the red flowers. The remaining purple flowers go into the last two positions, so there is only one placement left for them, given the positions of the red and yellow flowers. (You can express this mathematically as C(10 – 5 – 3, 2) = C(2, 2) = 1.) If you multiply together these ways of placing each color of flower, then you obtain the total number of different-looking arrangements:
C(10, 5) C(10 – 5, 3) C(10 – 5 – 3, 2)
= C(10, 5) C(5, 3) C(2, 2)
= (10! / [5! (10 - 5)!]) (5! / [3! (5 - 3)!]) (2! / [2! (2 - 2)!])
= (10! / [5! 5!]) (5! / [3! 2!]) (2! / [2! 0!])
= 10! / (5! 3! 2!)
= (10)(9)(8)(7)(6) / [(3)(2)(2)]
= (10)(9)(4)(7)
= 2520.
Notice that there is no requirement that you decide to start by placing the red flowers. For instance, if you begin with the yellow flowers, then the purple, and finally the red, the total number of different-looking arrangements is the same:
C(10, 3) C(10 – 3, 2) C(10 – 3 – 2, 5)
= C(10, 3) C(7, 2) C(5, 5)
= (10! / [3! 7!]) (7! / [2! 5!]) (5! / [5! 0!])
= 10! / (3! 2! 5!)
= 2520.

You have a rectangular flower garden. How many different ways can you arrange 24 flowers if you plant them in equal rows with at least 6 flowers in each row? There are 6 mums, 5 roses, and 13 violets.
Thanks to anyone who can help =]
it’s best to let your child try and figure this out. if it’s wrong, then they will learn. doing their homework for them isn’t any good. helping, yes. making sure it’s done, yes
let them show you how they are doing it and that might help
I am ordering flowers and arranging them myself for my wedding. I need to know that it is okay to have the flowers in the same water. Also, How long will they last? My plan was to have them delivered 2 days before the wedding, arrange them right away, and then hide them in a dark cooler place(Like the basement, I can’t fit them all into the fridge). Will they be okay for the wedding? Any other advise? Thanks!!!

Note: I am ordering them from a bulk store with a good reputation for there flowers, not a florist. So, there won’t be any florist to hold on to them before the wedding.
Note: I was planning on using waterproof floral tape in a grid pattern to keep the flowers seperate. Should I use foam(or marbles) too?
Yes – you can arrange them together. two days ahead is ok. make the arrangement light and airy. Remove most of leaves, add ferns and baby’s breath for a really spectacular touch. It would help if you were to put clear marbles in the bottoms of the vases so you can control the arrangement by placing each individual stem into the arrangments instead of having all flowers clumped together. If you are using vases that are not clear, then use florist sponge to arrange the flowers. Keep the heavier flowers toward the center and then lighten up as you move to the edges. How you arrange will determine how it looks. Again – keep flowers light and airy in the arrangement. Have a wonderful wedding. People are going to be looking at you – not the flowers.
