An ice cream van sells 3 different ice-cream flavours with 4 different toppings.
How many different choices can be made using only one of the ice-cream flavours and only one of the toppings?
3 choices of ice cream times 4 toppings 12 choices
** v c s
n| x x x
f| x x x
m| x x x
p| x x x
v = vanilla
c = choc
etc
n = nuts
f = fudge
m = marshmallow
sure enough, 12 x marks :)
To solve this problem, we can multiply the number of choices for the ice-cream flavor by the number of choices for the toppings.
Given:
- 3 different ice-cream flavors
- 4 different toppings
First, let's calculate the number of choices for the ice-cream flavor:
- Since we can only choose one flavor, there are 3 different flavors to choose from.
Next, let's calculate the number of choices for the toppings:
- Similarly, since we can only choose one topping, there are 4 different toppings to choose from.
Now, let's multiply the number of choices for the ice-cream flavor by the number of choices for the toppings:
3 (choices for ice-cream flavor) * 4 (choices for toppings) = 12
Therefore, there are 12 different choices that can be made using only one of the ice-cream flavors and only one of the toppings.
To find the number of different choices that can be made using only one ice-cream flavor and one topping, we need to multiply the number of ice-cream flavors by the number of toppings.
Given that there are 3 different ice-cream flavors and 4 different toppings, we can multiply these two numbers together:
3 (ice-cream flavors) x 4 (toppings) = 12
Therefore, there are 12 different choices that can be made using only one ice-cream flavor and one topping.
