How many ways can you choose 3 out of 5 books if order doesn't matter

Since order doesn't matter, we can simply use the combination notation cited as:

^(n)C_r, where n represents the number of objects and r represents the number of subsets.

If we were to choose 3 books from a pack of 5, we can choose them in
^(5)C_3 ways, which is 10 ways.
