Answer:

e

Explanation:

We first have to find out how many outcomes there are in total. That means finding out how many meals, sides, and beverages there are.

Meals: cheese pizza, cheeseburger, hotdog, and salad (4)

Sides: banana, apple, and yogurt (3)

Beverages: milk, water, and juice (3)

4 x 3 x 3 = 36

There are 36 possible outcomes.

We need to find the probability that Zoe will choose cheese pizza, an apple, and milk. Those are three outcomes.

The probability is 3/36.

The fraction 3/36 can be simplified to 1/12.

uh looking at the other answer that one is probs right

either way, hope this helps?
