We have looked at situations in which we need to determine the number of possible routes between two places. We can look at the situation below as 9 steps, six of which must be East and three of which must be South.
This gives us 9! = 84 possible routes
3!6!
The calculation 9! is equivalent to 9C3 (or 9C6)
3!6!
Explain clearly why you could solve this question using combinations, and why this is equivalent to considering permutations with repeated items.
We would use combinations because the order in which you travel does not matter. Permutations with repeated items could be used because we multiple steps south and multiple steps east but combinations in the case work because order does not matter and we must eliminate repeated combinations.
