For a class project, students must select one topic from a list of 15 choices. They will also choose one presentation method: written report, oral presentation, or making a game. Use the Fundamental Counting Principle to determine how many different project combinations are possible. (1 point) Responses 15 15 30 30 45 45 60 60

To determine the number of different project combinations possible using the Fundamental Counting Principle, we multiply the number of choices for each category of selection.

  1. Number of topics: There are 15 choices.
  2. Number of presentation methods: There are 3 choices (written report, oral presentation, or making a game).

Using the Fundamental Counting Principle, we multiply these numbers together:

\[ \text{Total combinations} = \text{Number of topics} \times \text{Number of presentation methods} = 15 \times 3 = 45 \]

Therefore, the total number of different project combinations possible is 45.
