If you are given 5 red flowers and 5 yellow flowers

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) How many ways can you arrange 8 of these flowers
\n" ); document.write( "in a row in a box?
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "(10 flowers Position 8) = 10P8 = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3 = \r\n" );
document.write( "1814400 ways.\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( "b) How many ways can you arrange 8 of these flowers
\n" ); document.write( "in a row if you want the colors to alternate?
\n" ); document.write( "
