Question 1191564
<font color=black size=3>
The vowels in the order presented are: E, U, A, I, O
or perhaps better sorted as: A, E, I, O, U


Think of the vowels as one block, and have some other letter (say X) representing that block.


We go from the word EDUCATION to X,D,C,T,N
The initial 9 letter word drops to 9-5 = 4 letters after we kick out the vowels. 
Then introducing letter X brings the count up to 5 letters.
Anywhere you see an X, replace it with some permutation of A,E,I,O,U.


There are 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 ways to arrange X,D,C,T,N
And there are 5! = 120 ways to arrange the five vowels.


Overall, there are (5!)*(5!) = 120*120 = 14400 different arrangements such that the vowels stick together.


Answer: 14400
