Question

a restaurant offers 7 appetizers and 11 main courses. in how many ways can a person order a two-course meal?

Answer 1

There are 7 possibilities for appetisers and 11 for main courses, so the total number of combinations would be 7*11 = 77

Answer 2

Answer: 77

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, for every 1 main course, the restaurant offers 7 appetizers that can go with it.

Since there are 11 main courses, that would mean for each one of the courses there will be 7 appetizers.

To get the number of ways a person can order a two-course meal, we multiply the appetizers by number of the courses. This will give :

7 × 11= 77
