Take a box .Insert another box in it and make one box .Therefore like this 6 boxes will become 3 boxes .Then you can distribute the balls

Answer 2

Answer:

There are 216 ways....

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are n distinct balls and m distinct boxes, then the number of ways of distributing the balls into boxes is given by m^n.

Therefore, 6^3 is the answer. (6 x 6 x 6 = 216 ways)

The logic is each ball can be placed in the boxes in 6 ways.
