Answer:

Explanation:

The Fundamental Counting Principle states that if there are m ways to do one thing, and n ways to do another, then there are m*n ways of doing both.

Given the choices for customizing the tablet:

- 5 choices for an operating system

- 4 choices for a screen size

- 6 choices for a processor

- 7 choices for memory size

- 3 choices for a battery

We can multiply these together to find the total number of ways to customize the tablet:

5 (operating system) * 4 (screen size) * 6 (processor) * 7 (memory size) * 3 (battery) = **2520 ways** to customize the tablet.
