The number of different seating arrangements for 6 people in 4 chairs can be calculated using permutations.
This can be calculated using the formula:
P(n,r) = n! / (n-r)!
Where n is the total number of people (6) and r is the number of chairs (4).
P(6,4) = 6! / (6-4)!
P(6,4) = 6! / 2!
P(6,4) = (6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) / (2 × 1)
P(6,4) = 720 / 2
P(6,4) = 360
Therefore, there are 360 different seating arrangements possible for 6 people in 4 chairs.
How many different seating arrangements are possible for 6 people in 4 chairs?
