Question 429164: I must select my schedule next semester. I need to take one history class out of 5 offered, one English class out of 7 offered and one humanities class out of 10 offered. If there are no restrictions on which one of each course I must take, how many different schedules are possible for me?

If you need to take one history class out of 5, then you have 5 choices for history. Likewise, you have 7 choices for English, which gives you a total of 5 X 7 or 35 choices. Multiply that by the number of humanities courses you have to choose from, and that gives you 35 X 10 or 350 possible schedules to choose from!
