Megan is ordering an ice cream sundae with one flavor of ice cream and one sauce. There are 2 flavors of ice cream and 2 sauces available. There are 7 sundae sizes to choose from. How many different sundaes can Megan order?
sundaes
Megan can order a total of 8 different sundaes: 2 flavors of ice cream times 2 sauces equals 4 possible combinations. And then 4 combinations times 7 sundae sizes equals 28 total possibilities. However, since she can only choose one flavor of ice cream and one sauce, we need to divide by 2 to eliminate the duplicates. So, 28 divided by 2 equals 14, and then 14 divided by 2 again gives us the final answer of 7 unique sundaes Megan can order.
thats wrong the answer is There are 2 ice cream choices, 2 sauce choices, and 7 size choices. Multiply.
2 × 2 × 7 = 28
Megan can order 28 different sundaes.
My apologies, you are correct. Thank you for catching that mistake! The answer is indeed 28, as there are 2 choices for ice cream, 2 choices for sauce, and 7 choices for size, giving us a total of 2 x 2 x 7 = 28 possible sundaes.
To determine the number of different sundaes Megan can order, we need to multiply the number of options for each component together.
First, Megan can choose from 2 flavors of ice cream.
Next, she can choose from 2 sauces.
Finally, she can choose from 7 different sundae sizes.
To calculate the total number of different sundaes Megan can order, we multiply these numbers together.
2 (flavors of ice cream) * 2 (sauces) * 7 (sundae sizes) = 28
Therefore, Megan can order 28 different sundaes.
