<PRE><B>Question 266220</B>
Three research departments have 6 , 7 , and 8 members, respectively. If each department is to select a delegate and an alternate to represent the department at a conference, in how many ways can this be done? 
------------------------------------
Order matters if you are pickiing a person as delegate and another as alternate.
------------------------------------
# of ways: (6*5)*(7*6)*(8*7) = 70560
