Q. Sidney is building a first-aid kit. There are 22 kinds of bandages and 22 disinfectants to choose from. How many different first-aid kits can Sidney make using exactly one of each item?\newline_____ first-aid kits
  1. Identify Choices: Identify the number of choices for each item in the first-aid kit.\newlineSidney has 22 choices of bandages and 22 choices of disinfectants.
  2. Use Counting Principle: Use the fundamental counting principle to determine the total number of different first-aid kits. The number of different first-aid kits is the product of the number of choices for each item. Number of different first-aid kits =Number of bandage choices×Number of disinfectant choices= \text{Number of bandage choices} \times \text{Number of disinfectant choices}
  3. Calculate Total Kits: Calculate the number of different first-aid kits.\newlineNumber of different first-aid kits = 22 (bandages) ×\times 22 (disinfectants) = 44
