18 students are going on a field trip the bus can fit 14 so four of them will have to ride in a car and how many ways can we choose the four students who must ride in the car

Number of ways we can choose the four students who must ride in the car = 3060 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination question.

The number of selections of "r" objects from the given "n" objects is denoted by;

C (n, r), and is given by;

C (n, r) = n!/[r! (n - r) !]

In this question, n = 18 and r = 4

Thus;

C (18, 4) = 18!/[4! (18 - 4) !]

C (18,4) = 3060

Number of ways we can choose the four students who must ride in the car = 3060 ways
