Calros can order 12 different ice cream desserts.
To find the total number of different ice cream desserts Carlos could order, you can multiply the number of choices for each category.
In this case:
Number of sizes = 2
Number of flavors = 2
Number of toppings = 3
Total combinations = Number of sizes × Number of flavors × Number of toppings
Therefore, the total number of different ice cream desserts Carlos could order is:
2 (sizes) × 2 (flavors) × 3 (toppings) = 12 different combinations.
