i.e,   [tex]7\times 4+1\times 12=28+12=40[/tex]    

These were arranged as

[tex]\frac{8!}{7!\times 1!}=\frac{8\times 7!}{7!}=8[/tex]

2) 4 ribbons- 4 cm and 2 Photo - 12 cm (RRRRPP)

i.e,   [tex]4\times 4+2\times 12=16+24=40[/tex]    

These were arranged as

[tex]\frac{6!}{4!\times 2!}=\frac{6\times5\times 4!}{4!\times 2\times 1}=15[/tex]

3) 1 ribbons- 4 cm and 3 Photo - 12 cm (PPPR)

i.e,   [tex]1\times 4+3\times 12=4+36=40[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4!}{3!\times 1!}=\frac{4\times 3!}{3!\times 1}=4[/tex]    

Total combinations of ribbons and photos are 8+15+4=27.

Therefore, Combination of ribbons and photos will fit side by side with no overlap on Lexi's bulletin board are 27.
