Answer:

40,320 different ways

Explanation:

Here, we want to arrange 8 flags in a row

In the row, there will be 8 places

The first place has 8 flags to be chosen from

The second place has 7 and like that

So mathematically, the number of ways that we can arrange the flags is 8 factorial ways

We have this as:

8! = 40,320 different ways
