The concept of determining which reactant is limiting and which is in excess is akin to determining the number of sandwiches that can be made from a set number of ingredients. assuming that a cheese sandwich consists of 2 slices of bread and 3 slices of cheese, determine the number of whole cheese sandwiches that can be prepared from 52 slices of bread and 81 slices of cheese.

720 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation has to do with arrangement. For example, in order to arrange 'n' objects in any order, this can only be done in n! ways since there is no condition or restriction on how to arrange the objects.

n! = n(n-1)(n-2)... (n-r)!

If there are 3 statistics books, 2 math books, and 1 computer science book on your bookshelf, the total number of books altogether is 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 books.

The number of ways that 6 books can be arranged in any order is 6!.

6! = 6(6-1)(6-2)(6-3)(6-4)(6-5)

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

6! = 120*6

6!= 720 different ways.

Hence, the books on your shelf can be arranged in 720 different ways.
