Answer:

2 different ways

Explanation:

You are looking at the factors of 60.

1×60 does not work, too many pictures in a row.

2×30 does not work, too many pictures in a row.

3×20 THIS WORKS!

4×15 THIS ALSO WORKS!

5×12 Nope, too many rows

6×10, no, too many rows

So there's just two ways to arrange the pictures.
