    Any of the 11 man can be chosen, and combined with any of the 8 women.

    Assume we select man1. The selected committee can be:

    (m1, w1), (m1, w2), (m1, w3), (m1, w4), (m1, w5), (m1, w6), (m1, w7), (m1, w8),

    so there are 8 committees selections with man1 in them.

    we could repeat the same procedure for the remaining 10 men, and get 8 committees where each of them is a member.

    so there are 11*8=88 ways of choosing 1 man and 1 woman.

    Answer: 88
