answer : 48
For the senior-class election, 8 candidates are running for president and 6 for vice-president.
the Fundamental Counting Principle states that if we have two events,
Event 1 occurs in 'm' ways and Event 2 occurs in 'n' ways
The total combination of events is m * n
8 candidates are running for president and 6 for vice-president
so total number of class combinations = 8 * 6 = 48
Answer = 48
