Question 1116933: You have to pass a math course, a foreign language course, and a social science course in order to obtain your degree. If there are 3 math courses, 4 foreign language courses, and 2 social science courses to choose from, in how many ways can you choose your 3 required courses?
Answer by KMST(5328) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3%2A4%2A5=60
In this case, your choices multiply, because your choices for each subject are independent of each other.
You choose 1 of 3 options for the math course,
That choice does not affect your choices for foreign language course,
where you still have 4 choices,
and whatever foreign language course you choose,
you still have 2 choices for the social science course
