Answer: 924
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Use the combination formula nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!
Using this formula gets you 16 (n) C 6 (r) = 12!/6!6! Which is also 12 • 11 • 10 • 9 • 8 • 7 • 6 • 5 • 4 • 3 • 2 • 1 / 6 • 5 • 4 • 3 • 2 • 1 • 6 • 5 • 4 • 3 • 2 • 1
2. Cancel out matching multiples that are in the numerator and denominator
This gets you 12 • 11 • 10 • 9 • 8 • 7 / 6 • 5 • 4 • 3 • 2 • 1 or 665280/720 when you simplify which leads you to the answer 924
Hope this helps!
