Answer 3

When you have, for example, 3 types of food and 2 types of drinks.

You have 3 * 2 ways to take it.
For example, in letter, i will call the foods, a, b, c, and the drinks, 1 and 2.
You can have:
a,1
a,2
b,1
b,2
c,1
c,2
The same as 3*2

If you have 27 boys and 14 girls, you can do the same
27 * 14 = 378
