There are 2 types of cones that you can use and there are 3 flavors of ice cream. How many different combinations are there?
2*3 = ____
The Fundamental Counting Principle states that if there are p ways to choose one thing and q ways to choose another thing, then there are p*q possible combinations to select both things in different ways
So, 2*3 = 6, which means there are 6 different combinations to choose a type of cone and flavor of ice cream.
To find the total number of different combinations, we need to multiply the number of options for each choice together.
In this case, we have 2 options for the type of cone and 3 options for the flavor of ice cream.
To find the total number of combinations, we multiply 2 by 3:
2 (types of cones) × 3 (flavors of ice cream) = 6
Therefore, there are 6 different combinations of cones and flavors of ice cream.
