A contractor needs to hire 5 painters. If there are 11 applicants for the jobs, how many different ways can the jobs be filled.

Please explain. Thank you.
 
From your subject line, you know that this is a "combination" problem. So apply the "m-choose-n" combination formula.

Where are you stuck? Please be specific. Thank you.
