The booster club sells meals at basketball games. each meal comes with a choice of hamburgers, pizza, hot dogs , cheeseburgers or tacos and a choice of root beer lemonade, milk , coffee, tea or cola. how many possible meal combinations are there

30 combinations is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each meal comes with a choice of hamburgers, pizza, hot dogs , cheeseburgers or tacos means 5 options.

And a choice of root beer lemonade, milk , coffee, tea or cola means 6 options.

So, possible combination can be = combinations.

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b
