Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of possible executive committees is calculated by multiplying the number of choices for each position:

For mayor: 6 choices

For deputy mayor: 5 choices (after mayor is chosen)

For treasurer: 4 choices (after mayor and deputy mayor are chosen)

Multiplying these together: 6 * 5 * 4 = 120

Therefore, there are 120 possible executive committees.
