Michelle has 21 ⅙ cups of flour in a container. she uses 6 ⅚ cups of flour to make 5 loaves of bread. how much flour does michelle have left in the container?

Total number of ways = 6*5 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to select two digits from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. (without replacement)

For the selection of 1st digit we have 6 choices so

n₁ = 6

For the selection of 2nd digit we have 5 choices since replacement is not allowed so

n₂ = 5

Therefore, the total number of ways are

Total number of ways = n₁*n₂

Total number of ways = 6*5

Total number of ways = 30

Note: here we are not considering the order which means (1,2) and (2,1) are considered different numbers.
