Answer:

362880 ways

Explanation:

The word dragonfly has 9 different letters.

So, to find how many ways this word can be arranged, we just need to calculate the factorial of 9:

First letter has 9 possibilities

Second letter has 8 possibilities (one used)

Third letter has 7 possibilities (two used), and so on.

So the number of ways is:

9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 362880 ways
