Josie had a choice of 3 breads, 4 choices of meat, and 4 choices of cheeses to make a sandwich. how many different sandwiches can she make? 24 36 48 60

The answer is 48

Step-by-step explanation:

For every different sandwich, she needs to choose one breat, one meat and one cheese.

For each choice of bread, there are 4 choices of meat and 4 choices of cheese. Also, for each meat, there are four choices of cheese. It means that for each bread there are 4(choices of meat)*4(choices of cheeses) = 16 possible combinations.

There are also 3 choices of breads. For each bread, there are 16 possible combinations. So, in all, there are 3*16 = 48 possible combinations.

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer
