There are 3 options for side dishes (rice, potatoes, and vegetables) and 3 options for main dishes (chicken, fish, and beef). To find the number of possible combinations, we multiply the number of options for side dishes by the number of options for main dishes.
3 options for side dishes x 3 options for main dishes = 9 possible combinations.
Therefore, there are 9 combinations possible.
