On Friday nights the local diner serves three main entrees, each with a choice of vegetable. The entrees are beef, chicken, and fish. The vegetables are spinach, broccoli, and carrots. How many possible dinners include fish?
A.)3
B.)6
C.)9
D.)1
a) 3
fish - spinach
fish - broccoli
fish - carrots
To find the number of possible dinners that include fish, we need to count the number of options for the entree and the vegetable.
For the entree, there are three options: beef, chicken, and fish.
For the vegetable, there are also three options: spinach, broccoli, and carrots.
To find the total number of possible dinners that include fish, we multiply the number of options for the entree (3) by the number of options for the vegetable (3):
3 entree options * 3 vegetable options = 9 possible dinners
Therefore, the correct answer is C) 9.
