Question

in a physiology class, a student must dissect three different specimens. the student can select one of four earthworms, one of seven frogs, and one of nine fetal pigs. in how many ways can the student select the specimens?

Answer 1

The student can select one of four earthworms, one of seven frogs, and one of nine fetal pigs. To find the total number of ways to select the specimens, we multiply the number of ways for each step: 9 (earthworms) * 4 (frogs) * 7 (fetal pigs) = 252 ways.
