Hiro went to the store after school to pick up groceries. His list said he needed to pick up one jug of milk, one loaf of bread, one dozen eggs and one package of cookies. Milk comes in 1%, 2% and 3.25% varieties. Bread comes in white and 100% whole wheat. Eggs come in small, medium, large and jumbo. Cookies come in three different flavours. How many different ways can Hiro bring home the items from his list
To determine the number of different ways Hiro can bring home the items from his list, we need to multiply the number of choices for each item.
1. Choices for milk: Hiro can choose between 1%, 2%, or 3.25% milk, so there are 3 options.
2. Choices for bread: Hiro can choose between white or 100% whole wheat bread, so there are 2 options.
3. Choices for eggs: Hiro can choose between small, medium, large, or jumbo eggs, so there are 4 options.
4. Choices for cookies: Hiro can choose from three different flavors, so there are 3 options.
To find the total number of different ways Hiro can bring home the items, we multiply the numbers of options for each item:
3 (milk) x 2 (bread) x 4 (eggs) x 3 (cookies) = 72
Therefore, Hiro can bring home the items from his list in 72 different ways.
To determine the number of different ways Hiro can bring home the items from his list, we need to find the product of the number of choices for each item on the list.
1. For the jug of milk, Hiro has three different options - 1%, 2%, and 3.25%.

3. For the dozen eggs, Hiro has four options - small, medium, large, and jumbo.
4. For the package of cookies, Hiro has three options - three different flavors.
To find the total number of ways Hiro can bring home the items, we can multiply the number of choices for each item together:
Total number of ways = Number of milk options x Number of bread options x Number of egg options x Number of cookie options
Total number of ways = 3 x 2 x 4 x 3
Total number of ways = 72
Therefore, Hiro can bring home the items from his list in 72 different ways.
