Alright, what you're creating is called a Sample Space. It contains all possible combinations until you have enough information to rule combinations out. The abbreviations I'll be using are F for a fruit cup, E for eggs, B for a bagel, T for toast, and P for potatoes, and PA for pancakes. The sample would look like this:
E F T
E F B
E P T
E P B
PA F T
PA F B
PA P T
PA P B
D- -8 and F- 8 Because 8x8=64
Answer:
12 mouthpieces, 24 reeds, 6 neck straps
Step-by-step explanation:
42 objects - 12 mouthpieces
= 30 objects left consisting of reeds and neckstraps
4 times as many reeds as neckstraps
think of it as 5 groups, 4 are reeds and 1 of nexkstraps
so divide 30 by 5 to get 6 per part.
4 of those parts = 24
1 of the parts = 6
so reeds = 24
neckstraps is 6
mouthpieces = 12
