Two camp counselors take 5 kids to the movies and sit in a row of 7 seats. if the counselors must sit in consecutive seats (in either order), how many seating arrangements are possible?

the total number of arrangements possible is 1,440 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

total number of kids = 5

total number of counselors, = 2

Since the counselors must sit together in any order, first treat them as a single option. This gives 6! possible arrangements for all the participants.

Also, If they can sit in any order, then the total possible arrangements = 2(6!)

                                            = 2( 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)

                                            = 1,440 ways

Therefore, the total number of arrangements possible is 1,440 ways
