you are at a party where crackers and cheese spreads are among the refreshments. You can choose any one of 4 kinds of spreads and put on it anyone of 3 kinds of crackers. How many different choices do you
What is 4 times 3 ?
To calculate the total number of different choices, you need to multiply the number of options for spreads by the number of options for crackers.
In this case, you have 4 options for spreads and 3 options for crackers.
So, the total number of different choices you can make is 4 (options for spreads) multiplied by 3 (options for crackers), which equals 12.
