To calculate the total number of possible dinner orders, we need to multiply the number of choices for each category:
There are 4 choices of dressing, 6 choices of entrée, and 9 choices of sides.
So the total number of possible dinner orders at Mom's Country Kitchen is:
4 choices of dressing x 6 choices of entrée x 9 choices of sides = 216 possible dinner orders.
Therefore, there are 216 possible dinner orders that can be made at Mom's Country Kitchen.
