1 answer

To find the total number of different combinations of bats, gloves, and cleats that you can pick, you can multiply the number of options for each item.

You have:

  • 8 different types of bats
  • 4 different types of gloves
  • 3 different types of cleats

The total number of combinations can be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Total combinations} = (\text{Number of bats}) \times (\text{Number of gloves}) \times (\text{Number of cleats}) \] \[ \text{Total combinations} = 8 \times 4 \times 3 \] \[ \text{Total combinations} = 96 \]

Therefore, there are 96 different possibilities for picking one bat, one glove, and one pair of cleats.
