Answer:

1

Explanation:

it depends on how many choices there are

If there is 1 choice for an appetizer, 1 choice for an entrée, and 1 choice for a dessert

(1 * 1 * 1 = 1)

then there is 1 meal choice

If there are 7 choices of appetizers, 12 choices of entrée, and 6 choices of dessert.

(7 * 12 * 6 = 504)

then there are 504 different options

If there are 5 choices for an appetizer, 12 choices for an entrée, and 3 choices for a dessert

(5 * 12 * 3 = 180)

then there are 180 options

12 choices for entrées, 10 choices for side dishes, and 6 choices for dessert

(12 * 10 * 6 = 3240)

then there are 3240 meal options

you have to multiply the number of entrées (e), meals (m), and desserts (d)

e * m * d = x

you are solving for x, which is the different meals available aka your answer.

so plug in the numbers and that should give you the answer!

hope this helps:)
