Question

Stacy invited six friends to her 5th birthday party. How many ways can Stacy's mom arrange the

children around the table for cupcakes and ice cream?
(Answer with no decimals)

Answer 1

120 ways

Explanation:

Here, we are looking at arranging around a table

To do this, we sit down one of the children and arrange the remaining around the one that we have sat down

In scenario like this, the number of possible arrangement ways will be;

(n-1)! ways

where n is the number of children which is 6 in this case

So the possible number of ways will be;

(6-1)! = 5! = 120 ways
