Abigail, Belinda, Clare, Deidre and Emma are 5 friends who always eat school dinners together. They decide that each school day they will line up in a different order. There are 5 days in every school week. How long can they do this before they have to repeat an order they have used before? (HINT: Work systematically.)
Post your answers below!
The answer is 120 this because there is 24 ways to order them starting with A, meaning there will be 24 starting with all of the different letters of their names. Then all I did was 24 x 5 because their are 5 friends giving you 120!!! willow
