We would line them up one person at a time.

We have 8 choices for the first person. That makes 8 choices.

For the second person, we are left with 7 choices, together with the first, we have 8*7=56 ways.

For the third person, we are left with 6 people from whom to choose, so together there are 8*7*6 ways.

For the last person, there is only 1 possible choice, so together we have 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 ways to make the line-up.

Calculate the number of ways the line-up can be made.
Thank you
