The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how many days the 7 sisters can dine together at a round table without repeating any arrangement of neighbors, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Circular Arrangement**: When arranging people in a circle, the formula for the number of arrangements is given by (n-1)!, where n is the number of people. This is because one person's position can be fixed to eliminate the effect of rotations. Here, we have 7 sisters, so: \[ \text{Number of arrangements} = (7-1)! = 6! \] 2. **Calculating 6!**: Now we calculate 6!: \[ 6! = 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 720 \] 3. **Considering Neighbor Restrictions**: Since the sisters do not want to repeat any arrangement with the same neighbors, we need to account for the fact that each arrangement can be flipped (i.e., if A is next to B, the arrangement can also be B next to A). Thus, each arrangement has a duplicate. Therefore, we divide the total arrangements by 2: \[ \text{Unique arrangements} = \frac{6!}{2} = \frac{720}{2} = 360 \] 4. **Calculating the Number of Days**: Since there are 360 unique arrangements, and assuming they dine together every day, the number of days they can dine together in a year (365 days) is limited by the number of unique arrangements. Thus, they can dine together for: \[ \text{Days they can dine together} = 360 \text{ days} \] ### Final Answer: The number of days the 7 sisters can dine together without repeating any arrangement is **360 days**. ---
