Ling is putting together a makeup kit for a friend. There are 2 types of eye shadow and 7 types of mascara to choose from. For the concealer, Ling has 2 options. How many different kits can Ling make?
Ling can make 28 different makeup kits.
To see why, you can use the multiplication rule of counting:
- The number of options for the eye shadow is 2.
- The number of options for the mascara is 7.
- The number of options for the concealer is 2.
To find the total number of options, you multiply these together:
2 x 7 x 2 = 28
So Ling can make 28 different makeup kits for her friend.
