kevin has a rabbit,a ferret,a gerbil,and a turtle. he feeds them in a different order every day. in how many different orders can kevin feed his pets
does it tell the different kinds or varieties of the foods?
4 animals, in any order = 4! = 24 ways
To find the number of different orders in which Kevin can feed his pets, we need to calculate the number of permutations.
Kevin has 4 pets: a rabbit, a ferret, a gerbil, and a turtle. The number of permutations can be found by using the formula for permutations of n objects, which is n!.
n! denotes the factorial of n, which means multiplying all positive integers from 1 to n.
In this case, n = 4, so we need to calculate 4!.
4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24
Therefore, there are 24 different orders in which Kevin can feed his pets.
