Question

Sam and lauren are going on a date. For dinner, their options are thai or italian, then they will either go to a movie, go ice skating or go to an art museum. How many different combinations are their for their date?

Answer 1

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 different combinations of choices for the date:

1. Thai food, movie
2. Thai food, ice skating
3. Thai food, art museum
4. Italian food, movie
5. Italian food, ice skating
6. Italian food, art museum

An easier way to solve for this is multiply by how many choices are in each category.

In food there is 2 choices, in activities there is 3 choices

Therefore:  2 x 3 = 6
