Q. Stanley wants to plant 55 different types of flowers in his garden this year. If he plants one type of flower each morning, in how many different orders could the flowers be planted?\newline_____ orders
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineStanley has 55 different types of flowers to plant. He wants to know in how many different orders he can plant them if he plants one type each morning.
  2. Recognize the problem type: Recognize that the problem is a permutation problem. Since the order in which the flowers are planted matters, we are dealing with permutations. The number of different orders in which 55 items can be arranged is given by the factorial of the number of items, which is 5!5! (55 factorial).
  3. Calculate 5!5!: Calculate the value of 5!5!.\newlineThe factorial of a number nn, denoted by n!n!, is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to nn.\newline5!=5×4×3×2×15! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1
  4. Perform the multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the number of orders.\newline5!=5×4×3×2×15! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1\newline=120= 120
