Euclid: The Truck and the Man!





Thank you for signing up for Test Prep Review's Praxis I Test Question of the Day email service. These questions are provided by Morrison Media, who publishes the Praxis I Test Secrets Study Guide and Praxis I Test Flashcard Secrets, both proven methods to help you get the results you want on the Praxis I Test.

Today's question concerns Mathematics.

The question/task is below:

When the science group containing six children leaves the main class once a week for special instruction, the science teacher lines up the students and leads them to the science room. How many different ways can the teacher line up the six children?

1. 15
2. 30
3. 36
4. 720
5. 46,656

Scroll down for the answer:















Answer
D. 720

This is a factorial problem.
6! = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1
6! = 720, answer choice D.


Now give each child a name inside a circle with ears and show all 720 combinations and if you finish you are an idiot with OCD orOPP 720 different ways because who is going to check it besides another idiot. The math may work but there is no way if you live forever you can line up 6 people 720 different ways because if that is true maybe football coaches and their 11 on 11 game really are geniuses?
Life is all about riddles and obscure vocabulary words. There should be a penitentiary for Permutating Praxis Professors.
