meals

Victor can serve 56 different meals.

To find this, we multiply the number of appetizers by the number of main dishes:

7 x 8 = 56

To find the number of different meals Victor can serve, we need to multiply the number of options for appetizers by the number of options for main dishes.

There are 7 appetizers to choose from and 8 main dishes, so the calculations would be:

7 (appetizers) x 8 (main dishes) = 56

So, Victor can serve 56 different meals.
