Couldn't you have used spaces?

Presumably then you are taking a course in this subject! What have you learned about them? If you do not know, for example, "the fundamental counting principle", there may not be much hope for you.

"how many strings of six lowercase letters of the english alphabet contain>
a)exactly one vowel? ans:122523030>"
Okay there are 5 consonants in that string and 21 consonants. What does the "fundamental counting principle" tell you about the number of possiblities? There are
5 vowels so 5 possible values for that vowel. And, then, there are 6 places in the string that vowel could go. How many possible strings does that give?

Hello, panelopy123!

2)the english alphabet contains 21 consonants and five vowels.how many strings of six lowercase letters of the english alphabet contain a)exactly one vowel? ans:122523030

we want a string of 6 letters which contains exactly one vowel.there are choices for the vowel, and orders
for the five consonants.then the vowel can be placed in 6 possible positions.therefore, there are:
strings.

To add to reply #2. I find your post almost impossible to read.

In addition, you gave no information or context for these question.
For example, it makes a real difference if in the first one letters can be repeated or not. The given answer seems to imply that repetition is allowed.

Moreover, this is a whole list of questions.
You are to know that this is not a homework service.
You must show some effort on your part.
