Question

A salad bar offers vegetable platters in 4 sizes (small, medium, large, and super-sized) and 6 different vegetables to choose from. Different platters can be created by changing the size and/or the choice of vegetables. If Selena wants to order a platter with exactly 2 different vegetables, how many different platters could she create?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of different platters Selena can create by selecting two different vegetables is 60 different platters

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The number of different sizes of salad available = 4

The number of different vegetable to choose from = 6

The number of vegetables Selena ordered = 2

The number of ways Selena can choose 2 vegetables out of 6 = ₆C₂ = 15 ways

The number of different platters (choice of vegetable and size of platter) Selena can create = The number of different sizes of salad available × The number of ways Selena can choose the vegetables

The number of different platters (choice of vegetable and size of platter) Selena can create = 4 × 15 = 60 different platters.
