A total of 6 outcomes include fries or fruit as the side dish.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
There is a total of 9 possible meal combinations. A person must choose an Entree and a side dish.
The Entrees consist of burgers, tacos, and pizzas.
The side dishes consist of salad, fries, and fruit.
Step 2:
To determine the number of combinations consisting of fries or fruit, we calculate the individual combinations.
With fries as your side dish, you can choose a burger, a pizza or a taco as your Entree. The same can be done with salad as your side dish.
There are 3 combinations each so there are a total of 6 combinations with fruit or fries as the side dish.
