i got 119 can you explain if my answer is right
your thinking, your work, your answer. Whatever. In this case,I would just post the work, it is rather simple.
choices: 8*5*3=120
How did you get 119?
To find the number of different combinations, we can multiply the number of options for each choice.
For the flavor of ice cream, there are 8 choices.
For the topping, there are 5 choices.
For the type of container (cup, plain cone, sugar cone), there are 3 choices.
To find the total number of combinations, we multiply the number of choices for each category: 8 flavors * 5 toppings * 3 types of containers = 120 different combinations.
Therefore, there are 120 different combinations of a single flavor, a single topping, and a cup or one of the types of cones at the ice cream shop.
