Answer 1

Answer:

Total 80 different three course meals can be​ ordered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Different​ salads = 4

Different kinds of​ pizza = 4

Different desserts = 5

We need to find the number of different three course meals that can be​ ordered.

Total possible ways to order salads = 4

Total possible ways to order pizza = 4

Total possible ways to order dessert = 5

The number of different three course meals that can be​ ordered is

$4\times 4\times 5=80$

Therefore, total 80 different three course meals can be​ ordered.

Answer 2

To find out how many 3 course meals there are you will multiply all three numbers together.  The reason for this is that you can group each item with each of the other options.  This is a triple grouping.

4 x 4 x 5 = 80

There are 80 possible combinations.
