You win a prize at a carnival. You can pick 5 prizes off the first shelf, 3 prizes off the second shelf, or 1 prize off the third shelf. You decide to take the first shelf option. If there are 10 different prizes on the first shelf, how many ways can you select your prizes?

You have 50 ways because if there are 10 different types of prizes with 5 prizes you can just multiply that to get your different ways to select the prizes.

If there are 10 different prizes, and you can take 5, I would say 6 different ways, if you use your hands to count them, you'll get different ways. Hope this helps!

Aye Sir!
