Question

Help please?!

Ping is deciding what to choose for dinner from a menu. He can choose 1 of 3 pasta meals, 1 of 7 chicken meals, or 1 of 3 fish meals. How many ways can Ping choose a dinner meal?
a. 3

b. 13

c. 30

d. 63
Am I supposed to multiply to get the answer? Or add? I'm a bit lost!!

Answer 1

Based on the given description above, the correct answer would be option D. 63. How is that so.
So here it is: 1 combination of 3 pasta meals (1*3)
1 combination of 7 chicken value meals (1*7)
1 combination of 3 fish meals (1*3)
(1*3)(1*7)(1*3) would be 63.
That makes Ping can choose a dinner meal in 63 ways.
Hope that this is the answer you are looking for.
