Allie remembered that the 3 digits in her locker combination were 2 4 and 8 but she forgot the order of the numbers What is the maximum number of combinations she must check in order to open her Locke?

To find the maximum number of combinations Allie must check, we need to calculate the number of permutations of the three digits (2, 4, and 8). The formula for permutations is ( n! ) (n factorial), where ( n ) is the number of items to arrange. For three digits, ( 3! = 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 ). Therefore, Allie must check a maximum of 6 combinations to open her locker.
