check your previous post for this problem
lalalalala i don't no plzzzzzzzz help haha
you can maake 20 combinations. just draw a diagram to help you find out.
p.s ice cream rocks!!
To determine the number of combinations you can make with 3 toppings, you need to use the concept of combinations in combinatorics.
First, note that you have 4 choices for the ice cream flavor (Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Coffee). For each ice cream flavor, you have 5 choices for the toppings (Fudge, Caramel, Chocolate Sprinkles, Rainbow Sprinkles, Nuts).
To find the number of combinations, you need to multiply the number of choices for each option.
1. Choose 1 ice cream flavor: You have 4 choices for this.
2. Choose 3 toppings: You have 5 choices for each topping, and you need to choose 3 of them.
To calculate the number of combinations, you can use the formula for combinations:
nCr = n! / [(n - r)! * r!]
In this case, you want to calculate 3 toppings out of 5 choices, which is:
5C3 = 5! / [(5 - 3)! * 3!]
= 5! / (2! * 3!)
= (5 * 4 * 3!) / (2 * 1 * 3!)
= (5 * 4) / (2 * 1)
= 10
Therefore, there are 10 different combinations of 3 toppings when you have 5 choices available.
