Question

calculate the number of ways you can make each arrangement. sample problem 12 flowers planted around the base of a tree (n - 1)! = (12 - 1)! = 11! = 39,916,800 i can arrange the flowers around the base of the tree 3 baseball players standing in a circle under a fly ball enter the answer in the space provided. use numbers instead of words. different ways

Explanation:

Step1: Recall circular permutation formula

For \( n \) distinct objects arranged in a circle, the number of permutations is \( (n - 1)! \). Here, \( n = 3 \) (baseball players).

Step2: Substitute \( n = 3 \) into the formula

Calculate \( (3 - 1)! = 2! \)

Step3: Evaluate \( 2! \)

\( 2! = 2\times1 = 2 \)

Answer:

2
