You are ordering dinner at a restaurant. How many ways can you order a meal if you have three choices for a drink (juice coffee or tea) four main courses to choose from (chicken beef fish or pork) and?

To determine the number of ways you can order a meal, you can multiply the number of choices for each component of the meal. You have 3 choices for a drink and 4 choices for a main course. Therefore, the total number of ways to order a meal is 3 (drinks) x 4 (main courses) = 12 different combinations.
