We can't give you the answer, but can help if we see what you have tried so far. Have you come up with a possible solution?

Why can't we answer it? I've seen that a lot.

Anyways:
I think you can use factorials or list all of the combinations

I think multiplying 3*3*2 should work

Yes, we can answer, but is that ethical, or helpful to answer a homework question for someone. Assume that the poster asked the homework question here because of laziness. Doing their homework would mean we are encouraging that person to stay lazy. Thinking is part of the learning process and if a student doesn't even think and gets the answer, what's the point?
