Twelve new students are standing in a line. How many different ways can the first seven students in line order themselves?

12!= 12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1= 479001600 ways?

 

 

 

I think that is the answer but I am not sure...(srry if it's wrong)

Since we are only concerned about the first 7 students....ignore the other 5

 

7 P 7 = 5040 ways
