Sample response: The Smith family has 2 choices to make, color and style. By the fundamental counting principle, the product of the number of choices of color and style must equal 8. So, there could be 1 color and 8 style choices, 2 colors and 4 styles, 4 colors and 2 styles, or 8 colors and 1 style.
