Kevin has a rabbit a ferret a gerbil and a turtle. He feeds them in a different order each day. In how many different orders can Kevin feed his pets?

how many animals?

straight permutation formula

To find the number of different orders Kevin can feed his pets, we can use the concept of permutations.

Since Kevin has 4 pets (rabbit, ferret, gerbil, turtle), he can arrange them in 4! (4 factorial) different ways, which is equal to 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24.

Therefore, there are 24 different orders in which Kevin can feed his pets.
