Abigayle Bautista · Answer 1

30 ballots are possible

Step-by-step explanation:

In an election with 6 candidates for one office and 5 candidates for another office

If we select 1 candidate for one office, there are possibilities of selecting 5 candidates for another office

If we select 2nd candidate for one office, there are possibilities of selecting 5 candidates for another office

So to get number of different versions of ballots possible, multiply the candidates

6 times 5 = 30

So 30 ballots are possible
