Michael went into a comic book store to pick up a few of his “much wanted” comics. There are about 4 different Batman issues, about 5 different Star Wars issues, and about 2 different Superman issues to choose from. Exactly how many combinations are possible for Michael to pick up one issue for each comic?
This question makes no sense.
You say that there are "about" 5 different Star Wars issus, "about" 5 .....
and then you ask for "exactly" how many ....
Please clarify.

(sorry about that)
that's better,
that would simply be
4 x 5 x 2 or 40 ways
To determine the number of possible combinations, we can multiply the number of options for each comic book together. In this case, we need to consider the options for Batman, Star Wars, and Superman.
First, let's find the number of options for each comic:
- Batman: There are 4 different Batman issues to choose from.
- Star Wars: There are 5 different Star Wars issues to choose from.
- Superman: There are 2 different Superman issues to choose from.
To find the total number of combinations, we multiply the number of options for each comic together:
Total Combinations = Number of Batman issues × Number of Star Wars issues × Number of Superman issues
Total Combinations = 4 × 5 × 2 = 40
Therefore, there are 40 different combinations possible for Michael to pick up one issue for each comic.
