five friends decide to post border pick group picture . in how many ways can they arrange themselves in a row if two of them must on beside each other ?
There are 5 people to fill the first place, 4 remaining to fill the second, 3 remaining to fill the third, 2 remaining to the fourth place and only 1 remaining to fill the fifth. That means there are 5 factorial (5!) ways. 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
