Question

Please need this answer fast it is the last piece to my pie chart for math!!!! A catering service offers 3 appetizers, 5 main courses and 8 desserts. A customer is to select 2 appetizers, 4 main courses and 6 desserts for a banquet. In how many ways can this be done?

Answer 1

To find in how many ways this can be done, we can use the method of combination.

As the customer have to choose 2 out of 3 appetizers, the combination would be 3C2.

For 4 out of 5 main courses, the combination wouls be 5C4.

For 6 out of 8 desserts, the combination would be 8C6.

We can then combine them into a single equation to find the answer:

3C2 x 5C4 x 8C6
=420

Therefore, the answer is 420 ways.

Hope it helps!
