English: How many 8-letter "words" can we create using 4 letters "H", 2 letters "C" and two letters "O"? Answer by creating the word "CHHHCOOH" and counting the availale choices at each step. The first decision selects the four letters letters "H" to be at (2,3,4,8) out of eight options (1-8). The second decision places two letters "C" at(1,5) out of four options (1,5,6,7).
