Answer: 9

Explanation:

Given: The number of different salads = 3

The number of different main courses = 3

It means for dinner there are 3 choices for salads and 3 choices for main courses.

If a diner wants to order one of each, then the possible combinations are available to the diner=
3*3=9

Hence, the possible combinations are available to the diner = 9
