5Alice hat 4 Äpfel, 5 Bananen und 3 Orangen. Wenn sie zufällig eine Frucht nach der anderen isst und alle Früchte desselben Typs nicht unterscheidbar sind, auf wie viele verschiedene Arten kann Alice alle ihre Früchte essen?
["Title: How Many Unique Ways Can 5 Alice Eat 4 Apples, 5 Bananas, and 3 Oranges?", "When it comes to everyday puzzles involving combinations and permutations, few scenarios are as delightfully simple yet mathematically rich as Alice eating her collection of fruits. Suppose Alice has 5 apples, 4 bananas, and 3 oranges—all indistinguishable within their types. If she eats one fruit at a time, randomly, but never distinguishes between fruits of the same kind, how many unique sequences of fruit consumption are possible?", "This question is a perfect application of combinatorics, specifically the calculation of multinomial coefficients.", "---", "### Understanding the Problem", "Alice eats a total of:\n5 apples + 4 bananas + 3 oranges = 12 fruits.", "Because fruits of the same type are indistinguishable, the only thing that matters is which fruit is eaten on which day, not which specific apple or banana.", "We seek the number of distinct permutations of a sequence containing:\n- 5 identical apples (A),\n- 4 identical bananas (B),\n- 3 identical oranges (O),", "arranged over 12 steps.", "---", "### The Formula: Multinomial Coefficient", "The total number of distinct sequences is given by the multinomial coefficient:", "[\n\frac{12!}{5! \cdot 4! \cdot 3!}\n]", "This formula accounts for:\n- Dividing by the internal permutations of identical apples (5 of them),\n- Dividing by permutations of identical bananas (4), and\n- Dividing by permutations of identical oranges (3).", "---", "### Step-by-Step Calculation", "First, compute the factorials:", "- (12! = 479001600)\n- (5! = 120)\n- (4! = 24)\n- (3! = 6)", "Now plug into the formula:", "[\n\frac{479001600}{120 \cdot 24 \cdot 6} = \frac{479001600}{17280}\n]", "Divide step-by-step:", "1.
