Respuesta :

answer : 48

For the senior-class election, 8 candidates are running for president and 6 for vice-president.

the Fundamental Counting Principle states that if we have two events,

Event 1 occurs in 'm' ways and Event 2 occurs in 'n' ways

The total combination of events is m * n

8 candidates are running for president and 6 for vice-president

so total number of class combinations = 8 * 6 = 48

Answer = 48
