Question

Darlene is adopting a pet. She can choose from eight kittens and six puppies. How many ways can she choose a pet to adopt?

Answer 1

Her choice of kitten and choice of puppy are totally unrelated / independent.

Thus, the number of ways in which she can choose one kitten and one puppy is

8!6!.

Hint: "6!" is read "6 factorial" and has the value 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 30*12*2 = 720
Find 8! in the same manner.

Multiply: (720)(8!)

Answer 2

it would be 5

hope this helps
