The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how many ways a person can leave station B, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step 1: Identify the routes The problem states that there are: - 3 routes from station B to station A - 4 routes from station B to station C ### Step 2: Calculate the total number of ways to leave station B To find the total number of ways the person can leave station B, we need to consider both options (going to A and going to C). Since these two options are mutually exclusive (the person can only choose one route at a time), we can add the number of routes available for each destination. - Number of ways to go from B to A = 3 - Number of ways to go from B to C = 4 Now, we add these two numbers together: \[ \text{Total ways} = \text{Ways to A} + \text{Ways to C} = 3 + 4 = 7 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the total number of ways the person can leave station B is **7 ways**. ---
