Answer 1

Explanation

There are 8 boys and 6 girls and you have to choose 3 of each to go on the picnic. You can do this by doing: 8C3 x 6C3. This equal 56 x 20. So the answer to PART A: 1120 WAYS THE PICNIC TEAM CAN BE FORMED, PART B: 1120 WAYS THE EDUCATION TOUR CAN BE FORMED

this is because if you already choose the picnic team, then the rest of the kids just go to the tour, so the answer is the same for both (1120 ways)
