Answer:

The number of different ways to arrange the 9 cars is 362,880.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 9 cars.

These 9 cars are to divided among 3 racing groups.

The condition applied is that there should be 3 cars in each group.

Use permutation to determine the total number of arrangements of the cars.

  • For group 1:

       There are 9 cars and 3 to be allotted to group 1.

       This can happen in ^9P_{3} ways.

        That is, ^9P_{3}=\frac{9!}{(9-3)!} =504 ways.

  • For group 2:

       There are remaining 6 cars and 3 to be allotted to group 2.

       This can happen in ^6P_{3} ways.

        That is, ^6P_{3}=\frac{6!}{(6-3)!} =120 ways.

  • For group 3:

       There are remaining 3 cars and 3 to be allotted to group 3.

       This can happen in ^3P_{3} ways.

        That is, ^3P_{3}=\frac{3!}{(3-3)!} =6 ways.

The total number of ways to arrange the 9 cars is: ^9P_{3}\times ^6P_{3}\times ^3P_{3}=504\times120\times6=362880

Thus, the number of different ways to arrange the 9 cars is 362,880.
