54) How many ways are there to distribute five indistinguishable objects into three indistinguishable boxes?
I made a table for the possible ways. Since they are indistinguishable, 5,0,0 is the same as 0,5,0 and 0,0,5.
5 0 0
4 1 0
3 1 1
3 2 0
2 2 1
These are the only possible ways to sort this. 5 ways.
