Hiro went to the store after school to pick up groceries. His list said he needed to pick up one jug of milk, one loaf of bread, one dozen eggs and one package of cookies. Milk comes in 1%, 2% and 3.25% varieties. Bread comes in white and 100% whole wheat. Eggs come in small, medium, large and jumbo. Cookies come in three different flavours. How many different ways can Hiro bring home the items from his list
multiply the quantities of each list:
3*2*4*3=72
Hope he brought his cell phone along!
To determine the number of different ways Hiro can bring home the items from his list, we need to consider the choices he has for each item.
1. Milk: Hiro can choose between three varieties - 1%, 2%, and 3.25%.
2. Bread: Hiro can choose between two types - white and 100% whole wheat.
3. Eggs: Hiro can choose between four sizes - small, medium, large, and jumbo.
4. Cookies: Hiro can choose between three different flavors.
To find the total number of different ways Hiro can have these items, we need to multiply the number of choices for each item together:
Number of choices for Milk: 3
Number of choices for Bread: 2
Number of choices for Eggs: 4
Number of choices for Cookies: 3
Total number of different ways: 3 (Milk) x 2 (Bread) x 4 (Eggs) x 3 (Cookies) = 72
Therefore, Hiro can bring home the items from his list in 72 different ways.
