Students Have the choice of:

-Flavor: Vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream
-Toppings: peanuts, fudge, caramel, and whipped cream
If students have to choose one flavor of ice cream and one topping, how many possible combinations are there?

There are three options for the flavor of ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. For each flavor, there are four options for toppings: peanuts, fudge, caramel, and whipped cream.

To find the total number of possible combinations, we can multiply the number of options for the flavor by the number of options for the topping:

3 (options for the flavor) x 4 (options for the topping) = 12

So there are 12 possible combinations of one flavor of ice cream and one topping.
