Answer: 720

Explanation:

Given: The total number of trophies to arrange on the top shelf of a bookcase = 6

The number of ways there are to arrange the trophies is given by using permutations because here order matters i.e.


^6P_6=(6!)/((6-6)!)=6!=6*5*4*3*2*1=720

Hence, the number of ways there are to arrange the trophies is 720.
