6C3 = 6! /(3! × 3!)

= 6×5×4×3! / 3! × 3×2×1

= 20 ways

Answer:   120

==========================================================

Explanation:

Order matters because we want to distinguish between first place, second place, and third place winners. So something like ABC is different from BCA.

We have 6 ways to pick a first place winner, then 5 for second place, then 4 for third place. Overall, there are 6*5*4 = 30*4 = 120 permutations

You could use the nPr formula with n = 6 and r = 3 as an alternative method

[tex]_n P _r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

The exclamation marks indicate a factorial.
