Q. An online auction site includes listings for 4 items. If the listings all close at different times, in how many different orders could the listings close?____ orders
Identify Items: Identify the number of items (auction listings) to be ordered. There are 4 items (auction listings) that need to be ordered in sequence based on their closing times.
Determine Orders: Determine the number of different orders.Since the order in which the listings close matters and each listing closes at a different time, we can use the factorial of the number of items to find the number of different orders.Number of orders = 4!
Calculate Value: Calculate the value of 4!. Number of orders = 4!=4×3×2×1 =24
