What is number?

" Number is defined as the arithmetic value which represents the count of any given quantity."

According to the question,

Total number of candidates for positions = 24

Number of candidate selected  for 1 committee = 7

Total possible number of committees = [tex]\frac{24}{7}[/tex]

                                                               = 3.428

                                                               ≈ 3 committees (approximate)

As one committee is formed by 7 candidates , it can not be in decimals or fractions.

Hence, possible number of committees formed is equals to 3.
