5 people and 1 woman means 4 men and 1 woman.


You can select 4 men from 6 men by  C%5B6%5D%5E4 = %286%2A5%29%2F%281%2A2%29 = 15 different ways. 

You can select 1 woman from 4 women by  4 different ways. 


By combining these partial selections, you can form 4*15 = 60 different teams, as described.    ANSWER    

Solved.
