    Jay has 5 paintings that he plans to display on a wall that only has 4 books. Nancy has 5 paintings that she plans to display on a wall with 5 hooks. Who has more possible ways to hang his/her paintings?

    Jay's ways:
    5 P 4 = 120

    Nancy's ways:
    5 P 5 = 120

    Therefore, they have the same number of ways.
