Answer:
40320 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Paintings = 8
Required
Determine the number of arrangements
From the question, we understand that the order of arrangement matters;
This implies permutation and is calculated as thus;
[tex]^nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]
In this case,
[tex]n = 8[/tex]
[tex]r = 8[/tex], because all paintings are hung;
Substitute 8 for n and r, respectively
[tex]^8P_8 = \frac{8!}{(8-8)!}[/tex]
Evaluate the denominator
[tex]^8P_8 = \frac{8!}{0!}[/tex]
[tex]^8P_8 = \frac{8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1}{1}[/tex]
[tex]^8P_8 = 40320[/tex]
Hence, the number of arrangement is 40320 ways
