At a competition with 8 runners, 2 medals are awarded for first and second
place.
each medal is different. how many ways are there to award the medals?
o a. 56
o b. 28
o c. 40,320
o d. 64

Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation :

Since we have given that

Number of medals = 2

Number of runners = 8

We need to find the number of ways to award the medals.

We would use "fundamental theorem of counting" to find the number of ways.

So, number of ways is given by

8 × 7 = 56

Hence, option 'A' is correct.

A. 56

Step-by-step explanation:

You take 8 and then find the next number down and multiply them.

8*7= 56
