6. A child has 10 identically shaped blocks – 4 red, 3 green, 2 yellow, and 1 blue. How many different stacks of all 10 blocks are possible? 10! = 4! 3! 2! 1! 10 9 8 7 6 5 4! 4! 3 2 2 151,200 12 12,600

7. How many ways can 10 people be seated around a circular table if the host and hostess cannot be seated together? (10 – 1)! = 362,880 If the host and hostess do sit together, they would be counted as one, so now it would be asking for 9 people seated in a circle. (9 – 1)! = 8! = 40320 So to find the ways they do not sit together, subtract the two answers 9! – 8! = 362,880 – 40320 = 322,560
