Answer: There are 6 different ways in which they can share the work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that Terry selects first the place where he goes, in the selection he has 3 options at random to chose.

Then Edin selects, Edin has two options (because one is already taken)

Then Gordon selects, he has only one options.

The number of combinations is equal to the product of the number of options for each selection, this is:

Combinations = 3*2*1 = 6

There are 6 different ways in which they can share the work.
