Question

18. A bride is choosing a dress for her bridesmaids. If there are 7 styles, 4 colors, and 3 fabrics, in how many ways can she select the bridesmaids' dress?

Answer 1

Since we can combine any style with any color with any fabric, the amount of possibilities is given by the product of those 3 values.

$7\times4\times3=84$

There are 84 distinct ways of choosing the bridesmaids' dresses.
