Answer:
4096 different cakes can be made if flavors can be repeated.
Explanation:
Since at Misu's Ice Cream Parlor, their famous 4-layer ice cream cake consists of four layers of ice cream alternating with layers of cake, if there are 8 flavors of ice cream, and we count different cakes based on the order of ice cream Layers from top to bottom, to determine how many different cakes can be made if flavors can be repeated, the following calculation must be performed:
8 x 8 x 8 x 8 = X
64 x 64 = X
4.096 = X
Therefore, 4096 different cakes can be made if flavors can be repeated.
