Suppose Ruth Ann has 3 routes she can choose from to get from school to the library, and 5 routes from the library to her home. How many routes are there from Ruth Ann’s school to her home with a stop at the library?
A) 9 B) 60 C) 15 D) 25

Respuesta :

There are fifteen routes as each of the three library routes can go to any of the five routes to home.

Answer: C) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of routes Ruth Ann can choose from to get from school to the library = 3

The number of  routes Ruth Ann can choose  from the library to her home= 5

Therefore, the number of  routes she can choose from Ruth Ann’s school to her home with a stop at the library =[tex]3\times5=15[/tex]

Hence, there are 15 routes from Ruth Ann’s school to her home with a stop at the library.
