Q. Tracy is packing a lunch box to take to school. Tracy can make 22 kinds of sandwiches, and there are 22 kinds of fruit in the house. Assuming Tracy packs one of each item, how many different lunches can she pack?? _____ lunches
  1. Identify Choices: Identify the number of choices for each item.\newlineTracy can make 22 kinds of sandwiches and there are 22 kinds of fruit.
  2. Use Counting Principle: Use the fundamental counting principle.\newlineThe number of different lunches Tracy can pack is the product of the number of choices for sandwiches and the number of choices for fruit.\newlineNumber of different lunches =Number of sandwich choices×Number of fruit choices= \text{Number of sandwich choices} \times \text{Number of fruit choices}
  3. Calculate Number of Lunches: Calculate the number of different lunches.\newlineNumber of different lunches = 22 (sandwich choices) ×\times 22 (fruit choices) = 44 lunches
