This can be calculated by multiplying the number of ways to arrange each letter in the word. There are 8 letters in the word, so the first letter can be arranged in 8 ways. The second letter can be arranged in 7 ways, and so on. The last letter can be arranged in 1 way.
Therefore, the total number of ways to arrange the letters in ARKANSAS is:
8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 40,320 ways.
