Question

Summer’s here and the ice cream truck is in town. The truck offers 3 flavors of ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. The topping choices are walnuts, sprinkles, and chocolate fudge and cookie crumbs. Zoe only has enough money for one scoop with one topping. How many choices does she have?

Answer 1

12 choices

Explanation:

There are 3 possible flavors Zoe can choose from: vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.

Meanwhile, there are 4 possible toppings Zoe can choose from: walnuts, sprinkles, and chocolate fudge and cookie crumbs.

Each flavor can go with each topping, so we just multiply these two numbers together:

3 * 4 = 12

Zoe has 12 choices.
