Q. Amanda is building a set of reference materials for her office. She can choose from 22 dictionaries and 88 thesauruses. Assuming she wants only one of each type of book, how many different sets of reference materials can Amanda put together?\newline_______\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ sets
  1. Identify Choices: Step 11: Identify the number of choices for each type of book.\newlineAmanda has 22 dictionaries and 88 thesauruses to choose from.\newlineShe needs to pick one of each.
  2. Calculate Total Sets: Step 22: Calculate the total number of different sets she can form.\newlineUsing the multiplication principle of counting, multiply the number of choices for dictionaries by the number of choices for thesauruses.\newline22 dictionaries ×8\times 8 thesauruses =16= 16 sets.
