### Instruction: My school's math club has 6 boys and 8 girls.  I need to select a team to send to the state math competition.  We want 6 people on the team.  In how many ways can I select the team to have 3 boys and 3 girls?### Response: We need to choose 3 boys from 6, so that would be 6 choose 3.
And we need to choose 3 girls from 8, so that would be 8 choose 3.
And since we need to do both of those things, we multiply them together.
6 choose 3 is 20, and 8 choose 3 is 56.
So 56*20 is 1,120.
