Question

A pizza place has pizzas in 2 different sizes, with 8 different flavors for the crust, and 8 different toppings.

How many one-topping pizzas can be ordered?

Answer 1

Use multiplication:

`2\text{ sizes}*8\text{ flavors}*8\text{ toppings}=\large\boxed{128\text{ pizzas}}`

This question is basically the same as the other question of yours that I answered, so the explanation is very similar:

You can imagine the possibilities as leaves on a tree. Your tree has 2 large branches to represent the two possible sizes. Each of those branch off into 8 smaller branches, each representing a crust flavor. Each one of the smaller branches has 8 leaves to represent a different topping. Each leaf is a combination of a size, a crust flavor, and a topping, so it represents a complete pizza. Your job is to calculate the number of leaves.
