Answer 1

(I meant draw a rectangle with a star and TRIANGLE inside, not a flag.)

Answer 2

Hmmm... this is hard to explain without being able to draw a picture. What you do is create four choices:

Rectangle Blue, Rectangle yelow rectangle green, and rectangle red.

Then have little branches come off with the different possibilites. For example, under rectangle blue, branches could be: triangle green star yellow, triangle green star red, triangle yellow star green, and triangle yellow star red. Do the same thing with each "topic," then count the number of branches total, and you have your number of possibilities.

Hope I helped! If you have any questions, write another response back.
