Rearranging Words Without Replacement

Question

Irving wants to rearrange the letters in turkey without replacement. How many ways can he rearrange them with 't' being first and 'u' being second? Please show work. Thanks :)

Answer 1

Since the first 2 letters are fixed, there are 4 possibilities for the 3rd, 3 for the 4th and 2 for the 5th. Thus, there are 4*3*2 combinations.
