Question 630275: How many different teams of 2 people each can Joshua select from a group of 5 people?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since you are choosing members of a team (the key word here is "CHOOSE"!), it is a COMBINATION problem, a combination of 5 people, taken 2 at a time.
C(5,2) = = 10.
Most calculators of today will calculate combinations and permuations for you.
