Q. Philip is in the garage getting ready for a day of fishing. He needs to pick out one of the 33 fishing rods and one of the 22 reels. How many different ways can Philip pick out fishing tackle for the day?\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_ ways
  1. Count Choices: Count the choices for each item: Philip has 33 fishing rods and 22 reels to choose from.
  2. Apply Principle: Apply the Basic Counting Principle: Multiply the number of choices for fishing rods by the number of choices for reels to find the total combinations. Calculation: 33 rods ×\times 22 reels == 66 combinations.
