Question
Jerry is in the garage getting ready for a day of fishing. He needs to pick out one of the 5 fishing rods and one of the 2 reels. In the outdoor refrigerator, there are 3 kinds of bait, but Jerry only needs one kind of bait for the day. How many different ways can Jerry pick out fishing tackle for
Solution
To find out the total number of ways Jerry can pick out his fishing tackle for the day, we need to multiply the number of choices he has for each item.
- Jerry has 5 fishing rods to choose from.
- He has 2 reels to choose from.
- He has 3 kinds of bait to choose from.
So, the total number of ways Jerry can pick out his fishing tackle is 5 (fishing rods) * 2 (reels) * 3 (kinds of bait) = 30 different ways.
