Suppose you are making lunches with a salami, roast beef, turkey, or ham sandwich, a bag of chips or pretzels, and cookies, brownies, or cupcakes. How many different lunches can be made?
4 * 3 * 2 = 24
thanks
You're welcome.
To find the number of different lunches that can be made, you need to multiply the number of choices for each item together.
Let's break it down:
1) Sandwich: There are 4 choices (salami, roast beef, turkey, or ham).
2) Chips or pretzels: There are 2 choices (chips or pretzels).
3) Dessert: There are 3 choices (cookies, brownies, or cupcakes).
To find the total number of different lunches, we multiply the number of choices for each item together:
4 (choices for sandwich) x 2 (choices for chips or pretzels) x 3 (choices for dessert) = 24
Therefore, there are 24 different lunches that can be made using these choices.
