A speech class has $4$ freshmen and $3$ sophomores. (Everyone is distinguishable.) In how many ways can they stand in line, so that all of the freshmen are standing next to each other?

In order to solve this problem, we need to find how many ways we can arrange each age group. 

 

The freshmen can stand in a line 4!=24 ways. 

As a group, they can arrange themselves in 4 ways across the line. 

The sophoores can stand in a line 3!=6 ways. 

 

Thus, we simply do

2446=576

 

So 576 is our final answer. 

 

Thanks! :)
