The formula for combination of r elements out n elements is:
[tex]C(n,r)=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!*r!}[/tex]In this question:
n = 8
r = 3
[tex]\begin{gathered} C(n,r)=\frac{8!}{(8-3)!*3!} \\ C(n,r)=\frac{8!}{5!*3!} \\ C(n,r)=\frac{8*7*6*5!}{5!*3*2} \\ C(n,r)=\frac{8*7*6}{3*2} \\ C(n,r)=56 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: 56 ways.
