Answer:

224

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a committee of six Congressmen will be selected from a group of eight Republicans and four Democrats.

Total no of ways of selecting 6 persons from the given list

= taking 6 persons out of 12 persons

= 12C6\\=924

Favourable ways

= ways of selecting 3 republicians

= 3 republicians and 3 democrats

= 8C3(4C3)\\= 4(56)\\\\=224

the number of ways of obtaining a committee with exactly three Republicans.

= 224

a simple way to do away with denominators, is we can simply multiply both sides by the LCD, in this case the LCD is 3, so let's multiply both sides by 3.


\bf 3\left( \cfrac{1}{3}x+y \right)=3(4)\implies x+3y=12\implies 3y=12-x
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{12-x}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{distributing the denominator}}{y=\cfrac{12}{3}-\cfrac{x}{3}}\implies y=4-\cfrac{1}{3}x
