A meal plate offers 2 bread choices, 3 vegetable choices, and 2 dessert choices. In how many ways can a plate be prepared by choosing one item from each category?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 12

By the multiplication principle, the numbers of independent choices are multiplied: \(2\times3\times2=12\). Therefore, the correct answer is 12. The distractor 6 results from multiplying only 2 and 3 and ignoring the 2 dessert choices. Exam tip: When one choice is made from each of several independent categories, multiply the number of choices in all categories.
