How many ways are there to sit the committee in a row at a meeting if the freshman,sophomores, and juniors must sit by grade, but the seniors can sit wherever they want?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 different grades represented, so for the first question, there are 4 ways that the students can sit if they must sit together by grade.

For the second question, there are 3 grades other than senior level, so it starts with 3 ways that the students can be seated. 3 ways x 2 students per way = 6 ways
