question: all the letters of the word FACETIOUS are arranged in a line, find the total number of arrangement that contain all the vowels in the order AEIOU but not necessarily together?
Answer:

_ A _ E _ I _ O _ U _

as you can see there are 6 _s

so the first consonant can go in any of the 6 places, the second go to any 7 places, the third consonants go to any 8 places, the forth consonant can go to any 9 places

hence the total number of arrangements is 6.7.8.9=9p4=3024

Yeah - that was effectively my reasoning. onebytwo's approach was probably quicker.
