Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

You can compute this one using the fundamental counting principle, which for this question means multiplying together the number of options for each course

6 appetizers x 13 main courses x 9 desserts = 702 different meal combinations

I hope that helps you get moving in a better direction on this type of question! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)
