How many ways can you draw 3 queens and 2 kings from a deck of 52 cards?

[arildno]

Use, for example, upper case for kings, lower case for queens..

You have 6 sets of two kings, 4 sets of queens.

If it is hard for you to know whether you should add, subtract, divide, exponentiate, multiply or possibly take the root of 6 with 4 in order to know how many different combinations you can make (a combination consisting of 1 kingset AND a queenset), then your problem is not with your homework, but that you still struggle with the maths most 8-year olds master.

No, you are not.

its just that i didnt know the formulas

You don't need to. Use your brain, instead of waiting to be spoonfed answers.

Furthermore, it is not an "insult" to you to say you struggle with the maths of 8-year olds, it happens to be an unfortunate fact.

Stating facts does not constitute an insult, however unpleasant those facts might be.

diceyfume, just look at that wikipedia article, and then try the question again …

if you don't understand something in the article, then ask us …

but please don't expect us to do the question for you

A time out is certainly needed here, since this is doing no one any good. Diceyfume: have a think about the problem, and come back tomorrow with a clearer head. I am locking this thread for ~12 hours, to enable all to clear their heads.
