Multiply 1/5 and 26/1 across the top and bottom, and you get 26/5
From there, you can estimate that its a little more than 5 because you know that 25/5 is 5 and 26/5 should be a tiny bit greater.
Hope this helped!
It is given that there are 41 males and 48 females in the small school.
So, the number of ways a male student can be chosen from 41 males is 
Likewise, the number of ways a female student can be chosen from 48 females is
.
Thus, the total number of ways in which 2-person combinations are possible to represent the student body at the PTSAC meetings will be given by:

The answer really depends on what b is. Unless you give me a number for what b equals I can’t solve it.
