Question

A frame shop has a special offer. Pictures can be framed in gold, silver, or brass, the mat can be any one of 16 colors, and the glass can be regular or nonglare. How many ways can a picture be framed with this offer?

Answer 1

To calculate the total number of ways a picture can be framed with this offer, we need to multiply the number of choices available for each aspect of the frame.

Number of choices for frame material: 3 (gold, silver, or brass)

Number of choices for mat color: 16

Number of choices for glass type: 2 (regular or nonglare)

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

3 x 16 x 2 = 96

Therefore, there are 96 ways to frame a picture with this offer.
