Skylar will be able to choose from the 8 objects which among them is to be placed in the first place. Then, there are 7 objects to choose from for the second place. This goes on until the last one is put in place. The equation that would allow us to calculate for the number of ways is,
N = 8! = 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x ...
Therefore, the answer is 40,320.
