Answer:

Explanation:

This questions bothers permutation since permutation talks about arrangement.

The number of ways n objects can be arranged is n! ways

n! = n(n-1)(n-2)!

If a family of 5 is going on a cross-country vacation, and decided to change their seating arrangement. The total seating arrangement that they can have is;

5! = 5*4*3*2*1

5! = 20*6

5! = 120 different arrangements
