(a) An ice cream shop has vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavors. You also have

the choice of a sugar cone or waffle cone. Draw a tree diagram to show the different
kinds of double dip cones you could order. (Double dip means two scoops.) Assume
that choosing chocolate and then vanilla is different than choosing vanilla and then
chocolate. (So, order matters.)
(b) If you must choose two different ice cream flavors for your double dip cone, how
many possible different cones could you order?

1 answer

(b) 3P2 * 2 = 12

Did you know?

Did you know that when ordering a double dip cone at an ice cream shop with vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry flavors, along with the choice of a sugar cone or waffle cone, there are multiple combinations to choose from? By drawing a tree diagram, we can visually represent the different kinds of double dip cones that can be ordered. It is important to note that the order in which the flavors are chosen matters, so if you choose chocolate and then vanilla, it is different from choosing vanilla and then chocolate. Furthermore, if you are required to choose two different ice cream flavors for your double dip cone, there are even more possibilities. How many different cones could you order?
