Answer :

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

16 times 15.

After one person becomes chair, there can only be 15 other people to become vice-chair. So, 16x15 =240

Parraingo

Based on the number of people present, the total number of combinations of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson is 240 combinations.

In order to find out the total possible combinations, the formula is:

= Number of possible chairpersons x Number of possible vice chairpersons

Number of possible chairpersons = 16

Number of possible vice chairpersons = 15 because a chairperson is chosen first and leaves 15 people.

Total possible combinations:

= 16 x 15

= 240 combinations

In conclusion, there are 240 possible combinations of chair and vice chair.
