Since there are only 6 apples in the bag, the only way to select 5 apples is to choose 5 out of the 6 available apples. This can be calculated using the combination formula C(n, k) = n! / [k!(n-k)!], where n is the total number of items, and k is the number of items to choose. Here, n=6 (total apples) and k=5 (apples to choose), so C(6, 5) = 6! / [5!(6-5)!] = 6. Therefore, there are 6 ways to select 5 apples from the bag.
