4. kmstevens10

$12 p 5$ but the p is higher

5. mathslover

12. mathslover

14. kmstevens10

i am showing you what the problem is

15. mathslover

ok 1

16. lgbasallote

$12 P 5 \implies \frac{12!}{(12-5)!}$

17. mathslover

lolz @lgbasallote ...this problem is not like that.. wait for original problem

18. lgbasallote

$\frac{12!}{(12-5)!} \implies \frac{12!}{7!}$ @mathslover it is...used the good ol calculator already

19. kmstevens10

okay i drew the problem out and wrote it, i dont know how else i can explain this all it says is simplify the expression.... and the options are A. 11,880 B. 95,040 C. 1,235,520 D. 7,920

20. mathslover

ok !!! 12*11*10*9*8 = 95040

21. mathslover

22. kmstevens10

im writing it out the way it is displayed

23. lgbasallote
