You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are \"7%2A6\" list of 2 boys that you could make from the 7 available boys,
\n" ); document.write( "but each group of 2 would appear in different order in
\n" ); document.write( "\"2\" different lists,
\n" ); document.write( "so the number of sets of 2 boys that you can pick is
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%2A6%2F2=21\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "There are \"%286%2A5%2A4%29\" list of 3 girls that you could make from the 6 available girls,
\n" ); document.write( "but each group of 3 girls would appear in different order in
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2A2\" different lists,
\n" ); document.write( "so the number of sets of 3 girls that you can pick is
\n" ); document.write( "\"%286%2A5%2A4%29%2F%283%2A2%29=20\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Considering that the the choices of girls sets and boys sets are independent,
\n" ); document.write( "you would have \"21%2A20=highlight%28420%29\" different ways to form
\n" ); document.write( "5-member committees consisting of 3 girls and 2 boys.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
