Question

An ice cream shop offers 5 different types of ice cream, 6 different toppings and the option of having a small, medium or large. What is the total number of possible combinations of ice cream that can be ordered at this ice cream shop?

Answer 1

Answer:

90 possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the total number of combinations possible you simply need to multiply the total number of each options with one another. For example, the number of options in each category are the following

types: 5

toppings: 6

size: 3  (small, medium, large)

Now we simply need to multiply all three of these numbers together to find the total number of possible outcomes.

5 * 6 * 3 = 90 possible outcomes.
