Question

How many different committees can be formed from 12 teachers and 32 students if the committee consists of 3 teachers and 2 ​students?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 committees

Step-by-step explanation:

12 divided by 3 = 4 (this equation represents the teachers)

2 x 4 = 8 (this equation represents the students)

There can only be 4 committees because there are only 12 teachers. There are some students that will not be in a committee. 24 students will be committee-less to be exact.
