If there are 36 different flavors of ice cream and two types of cones are available, how many choices for a single scoop of ice cream on some type of cone do you have?
Do i multiply the 2cones*36=72 single scoops
Correct.
To determine the number of choices for a single scoop of ice cream on some type of cone, you need to multiply the number of choices for the cone by the number of choices for the ice cream flavor.
In this case, since there are two types of cones available, you have 2 choices for the cone. And since there are 36 different flavors of ice cream, you have 36 choices for the ice cream flavor.
To find the total number of choices, you need to multiply these two numbers together:
2 (types of cones) * 36 (flavors of ice cream) = 72
So, you have 72 different choices for a single scoop of ice cream on some type of cone.
