For Its Breakfast Special, a restaurant
offers fried eggs or scrambled eggs with
ham or bacon or sausage, plus a choice of
5 different kinds of toast. How many
different breakfasts are possible?
2*3*5
this assumes on cannot choose fried and scrambled eggs, or ham and bacon and sausage at the same time, and so on.
To calculate the number of different breakfast options, we need to multiply the number of choices for each component.
1. Eggs: There are two choices for eggs—fried or scrambled.
2. Meat: There are three choices for meat—ham, bacon, or sausage.
3. Toast: There are five choices for toast.
To calculate the total number of breakfast options, we multiply the number of choices for each component:
2 choices for eggs × 3 choices for meat × 5 choices for toast = 30 different breakfasts are possible.
Therefore, there are 30 different breakfast options available at the restaurant.
To find the number of different breakfasts possible, we need to multiply the number of choices for each component of the breakfast.
1. Choices for eggs: Fried or scrambled (2 choices)
2. Choices for meat: Ham, bacon, or sausage (3 choices)
3. Choices for toast: 5 different kinds of toast (5 choices)
To calculate the total number of possible breakfasts, we multiply these choices together:
2 choices for eggs * 3 choices for meat * 5 choices for toast = 30 different breakfasts
Therefore, there are 30 different possible breakfasts.
