Determine the required number of branches in the tree diagram described. A tree diagram showing how many ways a nickel, a regular die, and a quarter could be flipped.
I did a tree diagram with the die having six branches, the nickel having two, and the dime having two. So, I got 24 once I used multiplication
Is this correct?
correct, see my reply to your previous post of this

Yes, your approach and solution are correct.
To determine the required number of branches in the tree diagram, you need to consider the number of possibilities for each item in the scenario. In this case, you have three items: a nickel, a regular die, and a quarter.
The nickel has two possible outcomes: heads or tails. Therefore, it should have two branches in the tree diagram.
The regular die has six sides, numbered from 1 to 6. Each side represents a possible outcome when the die is rolled. Hence, the die should have six branches in the tree diagram.
The quarter also has two possible outcomes: heads or tails. So, it should have two branches in the tree diagram.
To calculate the total number of possibilities, you multiply the number of branches for each item together. In this case, you multiply 2 (for the nickel) by 6 (for the die) by 2 (for the quarter). This gives you 24, which represents the total number of possible outcomes for flipping the nickel, rolling the die, and flipping the quarter.
Therefore, your answer of 24 is correct.
