Multiply 3 times 6 and then you get 18 all of the possible outcomes

Answer 2

Answer: Hello there!

in this problem, we have two things to choose, the chair lift and the ski trail, with 3 options for the chair lifts, and 6 options for the ski trails.

The total number of combinations is obtained by multiplying the number of options for each one of the things that we have to choose; in this case, it is 6*3 = 18 total combinations.
