Answer 1

Answer: 120

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that there are 10 people in a math club and that three people will be chosen for the Pi Day committee.

The number of different ways that the club members can structure the committee goes thus:

This can be solved by:

nCr = n! / r! (n - r)!

where n = 10

r = 3

= n! / r! (n - r)!

= 10! / 3! (10 - 3)!

= (10 × 9 × 8) / (3 × 2)
