The expression 12C8 represents the number of ways to choose 8 items from a set of 12 distinct items.
Using the formula for combinations:
12C8 = 12! / (8! * (12-8)!)
12C8 = 12! / (8! * 4!)
12C8 = (12*11*10*9)/(4*3*2*1)
12C8 = 495
Therefore, there are 495 ways to choose 8 items from a set of 12 distinct items.
