Praxis 5511 Practice Question
Sam’s Diner breakfast special: 1 juice (orange, grapefruit), 1 bagel (onion, garlic, sesame, plain), 1 fruit (apple, pear, plum). Total possible selections?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine the total possible selections for Sam's Diner breakfast special, we multiply the number of choices for each category.
1. **Juice options**: 2 choices (orange, grapefruit)
2. **Bagel options**: 4 choices (onion, garlic, sesame, plain)
3. **Fruit options**: 3 choices (apple, pear, plum)
Calculating the total:
2 (juices) × 4 (bagels) × 3 (fruits) = 24 total combinations.
Option A (9) underestimates the combinations by not accounting for all categories. Option B (12) mistakenly combines some choices but overlooks others. Option D (36) incorrectly assumes more choices than available in each category. Thus, the total of 24 selections is accurately represented by option C.
