Question

There are 5 slots, each containing the letters W, R, L, D or O. One letter is picked at random from each slot. What are the odds that the letters stored in these slots read the word WORLD?

Answer 1

1/120

Explanation:

For the first letter, you have a 1/5 chance of getting w

On the second you have a 1/4 chance to get the r

Then 1/3 and 1/2

Next you just multiply the bottom numbers

That gives you how many diffrent outcomes there can be. Put that over 1 and you have your answer.
