Question

Adele is building a snowman. There are 3 hats and 8 scarves to choose from. For the nose, Adele has 3 options. If Adele uses one of each item, how many different snowmen can she make?

Answer 1

Answer: 72

Explanation:

Given: Choices for hats = 3

Choices for scarves = 8

Choices for nose = 3

Using the Fundamental principle of counting, the number of different snowmen she can make = (Choices for hats) x (Choices for scarves) x (Choices for nose)

= 3 x 8 x 3

= 72

Hence, the number of different snowmen she can make = 72
