Question
Bobby has room to line up 5 plants in a planter.

How many different ways can he arrange the plants in the planter?

Enter your answer in the box.

ways

Answer 1

To find the number of different ways to arrange 5 plants, we can use the concept of permutations. The number of ways to arrange \( n \) objects is given by \( n! \) (n factorial), which is the product of all positive integers up to \( n \).

So, for 5 plants, we calculate:

\[
5! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 120
\]

Therefore, Bobby can arrange the plants in the planter in \( \boxed{120} \) ways.
