ok anybody up for a combinations question?
ok here it is:
I know some basic combinatorics I'll try to help
a resturant offers the following choices for breakfast: eggs: scrambeled, fried, or poached meat:bacon, sausage, or ham toast: wheat, white, rye, or pumpernickel how many different breakfast combintaions are possible if you chose one item from each list
there t is
*it* lol
you are choosing eggs, meat, toast. There are 3 choices of egg, 3 choices of meat, 4 choices of toast: 3*3*4=36 combinations
do u want another one?
sure
ok,
The super breakfast allows you to chose TWO meats, how many possible combinations are possible by choosing one of the egg choices, and one of the toast choices, and two meat choices
same menu as the last question by the way
now there are 3 choose 2 ways to pick your meat, but this is still 3. 3!/(2!1!)=3 There are still 3*3*4=36 combinations.
ok, thank you!
you're welcome
I appreciate it
If you have any more go ahead and post them and I'll try to help if I'm on. I like these types of problems
