11. Roberto has 10 different colored sheets of paper and 3 different colored envelopes. How many different letters can he make consisting of one colored sheet of paper and one colored envelope?
To find the number of different letters Roberto can make, we need to consider the options for both the colored sheets of paper and the colored envelopes.
For the colored sheets of paper, Roberto has 10 different options. Let's number them from 1 to 10.
For the colored envelopes, Roberto has 3 different options. Let's number them from 1 to 3.
To determine the number of different letters, we need to multiply the number of options for the colored sheets of paper (10) by the number of options for the colored envelopes (3):
10 options for colored sheets of paper × 3 options for colored envelopes = 30 different letters
Therefore, Roberto can make 30 different letters consisting of one colored sheet of paper and one colored envelope.
