Homework Equations
i'm not sure about equations, but my solution attempt may have some info.
The Attempt at a Solution
i know if 11 people were to sit at 1 table, we would have [itex]\frac{11!}{11}=10![/itex] combinations. thus, would we first have to choose who sits at which table? i.e: [tex](11C5)(4!)+(11C6)(6!)[/tex]
thanks for your time (and help!)
