Explanation:

Given: Julius is going to have a multi-course meal.

The following table shows how many different dishes are offered for each course.

Course Number of dishes

Appetizer 3

Main course 4

Dessert 3

Now, the different meal combinations for Julius is given by :-

`3*4*3=36`

Hence, there are 36 different meal combinations .

Answer 2

(3)*(4)*(3) = 36 different meal combinations

Explanation:

Course - Number of dishes

Appetizer 3

Main course 4

Dessert 3

Since we can choose any combination of dishes, we have

3 possibilities for the appetizer, 4 possibilities for main course and three possibilities from dessert.

3 and 4 and 3

3 ∧ 4∧ 3

(3)*(4)*(3) = 36
