Question 766046: Suppose that a class of graduating seniors at a high school consists of 26 men and 27 women. Suppose that one man and one woman are to be selected as "best dressed". How many ways can this be done? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
For each of the 26 ways to choose the man, there are 27 ways to choose the woman. 26 times 27 ways. Political correctness doesn't matter here because multiplication is commutative.
