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?

The freshmen  can occupy any 4 positions

And for  each of  these  they can be arranged in 4! = 24 ways

And the sophomores can  occupy any of the  other 3 positions and  can  be arranged in 3! = 6 ways

 

So

 

4 * 24 *  6  =  

 

576 arrangements
