Question

Mr. Jordan is traveling to Helsinki Finland with his Gibson Les Paul guitar for a competition during March break. His travel agent offers four flights from Toronto to Warsaw Poland and then three flights from Warsaw to Helsinki. How many different ways can he travel from Toronto to Helsinki?

Answer 1

Given that His travel agent offers four flights from Toronto to Warsaw Poland and then three flights from Warsaw to Helsinki

Here he needs to travel from Toronto to Helsinki

We should follow Multiplicative principle or Rule of product here

If there are ''a'' ways of doing something, there are ''b'' ways of doing other thing, then there are a * b ways of performing both the actions combined

So Here number of ways he can travel from Toronto to Helsinki = Number of flights from Toronto to Warsaw Poland multiplied by Number of flights from Warsaw to Helsinki

Here number of ways he can travel from Toronto to Helsinki = 4 * 3

= 12 ways
