The diner sells 4 different sandwiches, 6 different drinks, and 3 different deserts. How many different orders could you place if you decided to buy a sandwich and a drink?

please help me to answer this..

4 * 6 = ?

To find the number of different orders you could place, you need to multiply the number of options for sandwiches by the number of options for drinks.

In this case, there are 4 different sandwiches and 6 different drinks. So you can choose any one of the 4 sandwiches, and for each sandwich, you have 6 different drinks to choose from.

To find the total number of different orders, you multiply 4 (the number of sandwich options) by 6 (the number of drink options):

4 sandwiches * 6 drinks = 24 different orders.

Therefore, you could place 24 different orders if you decided to buy a sandwich and a drink from the diner.
