How many two block towers can you make from: 1 black block,1 red block, and 1 blue block? Please explain.
Assuming that the position of the blocks is important, here are the following possibilities. If not, only half are needed.
Black, red
Black, blue
red, black
red, blue
blue, red
blue, black

To determine how many two-block towers you can make from the given blocks (1 black, 1 red, and 1 blue), we can break down the problem step by step.
First, let's consider the different options for the bottom block of the tower. Since you have 3 different colored blocks (black, red, and blue), there are 3 choices for the bottom block.
Now, let's look at the options for the top block of the tower. Since you have already used one of the blocks as the bottom block, you are left with 2 blocks to choose from for the top block. Therefore, there are 2 choices for the top block.
To calculate the total number of two-block towers, we need to multiply the number of choices for the bottom block by the number of choices for the top block. In this case, that would be 3 choices for the bottom block multiplied by 2 choices for the top block, which equals 6.
So, you can make 6 different two-block towers from 1 black block, 1 red block, and 1 blue block.
