Eight people audition for a choir. The choir director must choose one soprano, one altar and one soprano. In how many ways can the director fill these positions?
Accepted Solution
A:
There are 72 different ways the director can fill the positions.
(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8) x 2
You multiply it by 2 because there are going to be 4 other people who will not have a position, and 8/4 is 2.
