Can someone me with this question me and my friends are fighting over it? 13.the letters r, w, a, and e are arranged in a random order. what is the probability that the arrangement forms the words wear or ware? a. 1/2 b. 1/6 c.1/12 d.1/24

Okay so I am not 100% sure but I think it is C. 1/12;

Because if you rearrange all the letters so that W is is the beginning you get 6 different combinations.

Then I multiplied those 6 combinations by 4 because there are 4 letters.

Once I multiplied I got 2/24 because there are 24 possibilities in total, and we are looking for the probability of getting those 2 combinations.

I simplified 2/24 to its lowest form and I got 2/24 = 1/12.

So the correct answer is C.1/12, hope this helps!
