<p>This is a Grid-In question:</p>

<p>The Acme Plumbing Company will send a team of 3 plumbers to work on a certain job. The company has 4 experienced plumbers and 4 trainees. If a team consists of 1 experienced plumber and 2 trainees, how many different such teams are possible?</p>

<p>I did 4<em>4</em>3 = 48 but the answer says 24. Did I do it wrong?</p>

<p>~ Thank you, Legatus</p>
