Sagot :

Answer: a. 720

Step-by-step explanation:

       You have 6 different sticks to choose from for the first stick. Then there are 5 for the second (6 - 1 = 5), then 4 for the third (5 - 1 = 4), etc all the way to the last stick.

       Mathematically, this can be shown with 6!. In other words, 6 factorial.

                      6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 720

      The answer to our question is:

                      a. 720
