Answer:

60,480

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of ways that Paul can arrange his trophies, we can use the permutation formula.

The permutation formula is:

[tex]_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{n!}{(n-k)!}[/tex]

n = 9

k = 6

Now let's put them into the formula.

[tex]_{9}P_{6}=\dfrac{9!}{(9-6)!}[/tex]

[tex]_{9}P_{6}=\dfrac{9!}{3!}[/tex]

[tex]_{9}P_{6}=\dfrac{9!}{3!}[/tex]

[tex]_{9}P_{6}=60,480[/tex]

There are 60,480 different ways that Paul can arrange his trophies on the shelf.
