Answer:

the coffee shop offers 18 possible coffees.

Explanation:

To find the total number of possible coffees, we need to multiply the number of options for each choice together.

Number of options for temperature: 2 (hot or iced)

Number of options for roast: 3 (light, medium, or dark)

Number of options for flavoring: 3 (hazelnut, French vanilla, or caramel)

To find the total number of possible combinations, we multiply these numbers together:

2 x 3 x 3 = 18

Therefore, the coffee shop offers 18 possible coffees.
