To find the total number of different meal combinations possible when choosing one item from each category (appetizers, main courses, and desserts), you simply multiply the number of choices available in each category.
- Number of appetizers = 4
- Number of main courses = 5
- Number of desserts = 3
Now, calculate the total combinations:
\[
\text{Total combinations} = \text{Number of appetizers} \times \text{Number of main courses} \times \text{Number of desserts}
\]
\[
\text{Total combinations} = 4 \times 5 \times 3
\]
\[
\text{Total combinations} = 20 \times 3 = 60
\]
Thus, the total number of different meal combinations possible is **60**.
- Number of appetizers = 4
- Number of main courses = 5
- Number of desserts = 3
Now, calculate the total combinations:
\[
\text{Total combinations} = \text{Number of appetizers} \times \text{Number of main courses} \times \text{Number of desserts}
\]
\[
\text{Total combinations} = 4 \times 5 \times 3
\]
\[
\text{Total combinations} = 20 \times 3 = 60
\]
Thus, the total number of different meal combinations possible is **60**.
