To calculate the number of possible ways to form a committee of 2 boys and 2 girls from 4 boys and 3 girls, you can use combinations.

The number of ways to choose 2 boys out of 4 is denoted by "C(4, 2)" or "4 choose 2," which can be calculated as:

C(4, 2) = 4! / (2! * (4 - 2)!) = 6 ways

Similarly, the number of ways to choose 2 girls out of 3 is denoted by "C(3, 2)" or "3 choose 2," which can be calculated as:

C(3, 2) = 3! / (2! * (3 - 2)!) = 3 ways

To find the total number of ways to form the committee, you can multiply the number of ways to choose the boys and the number of ways to choose the girls:

Total ways = C(4, 2) * C(3, 2) = 6 * 3 = 18 ways

So, there are 18 possible ways to select a committee of 2 boys and 2 girls from 4 boys and 3 girls.
