Full solution

Q. At a dog show, first-place winners were selected in each of 44 divisions. In how many different orders could these winners be announced?
  1. Count Divisions: List the number of divisions with first-place winners: There are 44 divisions.\newlineWe need to find the number of different orders in which these winners can be announced.\newlineSince the order matters, this is a permutation problem.\newlineNumber of orders: 4!4!
  2. Permutation Problem: Calculate the value of 4!4!.
    Number of orders = 4!4!
    = 4×3×2×14 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1
    = 2424
