James has to choose his options in his final year at school.
He must choose one subject from each of five different option groups.
In the first group, there are six subjects to choose from.
In the second group, there are four subjects to choose from.
In the third group, there are five subjects to choose from.
In the fourth group, there are two subjects to choose from.
In the fifth group, there are four subjects to choose from.
How many possible choices of subjects can James make?
Thanks
just multiply the numbers of choices from each group
6 * 4 * 5 * ...
6*4*5
120
hello so we will multiply the options.. 6 x 4 x 5 x 2 x 4 = 960
Well, James has quite the smorgasbord of options! Let's do some math to determine how many ways he can choose his subjects.
First, let's calculate the number of choices in each group:
Group 1: 6 choices
Group 2: 4 choices
Group 3: 5 choices
Group 4: 2 choices
Group 5: 4 choices
To find the total number of possible choices, we multiply the number of choices in each group together:
6 choices x 4 choices x 5 choices x 2 choices x 4 choices = 960 possible choices.
So, James has a whopping 960 possible choices for his final year subjects. Good luck to him in making the right choices, or at least the most entertaining ones!
To find the total number of possible choices of subjects that James can make, we need to multiply the number of options in each group together.
Let's calculate it step by step:
1) In the first group, there are 6 subjects to choose from.
James can choose any one of the 6 subjects from this group.
2) In the second group, there are 4 subjects to choose from.
James can choose any one of the 4 subjects from this group.
3) In the third group, there are 5 subjects to choose from.
James can choose any one of the 5 subjects from this group.
4) In the fourth group, there are 2 subjects to choose from.
James can choose any one of the 2 subjects from this group.
5) In the fifth group, there are 4 subjects to choose from.
James can choose any one of the 4 subjects from this group.
To find the total number of possible choices, we need to multiply the number of choices in each group:
Total choices = (Choices in Group 1) * (Choices in Group 2) * (Choices in Group 3) * (Choices in Group 4) * (Choices in Group 5)
= 6 * 4 * 5 * 2 * 4
= 480
Therefore, there are 480 possible choices of subjects that James can make.
