The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how many choices a student has when selecting one course in the morning and one in the evening, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Number of Courses**: - The college offers **6 courses in the morning**. - The college offers **4 courses in the evening**. 2. **Choosing a Course in the Morning**: - The student can select **1 course from the 6 available morning courses**. - The number of ways to choose 1 course from 6 is simply **6**. 3. **Choosing a Course in the Evening**: - The student can select **1 course from the 4 available evening courses**. - The number of ways to choose 1 course from 4 is **4**. 4. **Calculating Total Choices**: - Since the choices for morning and evening courses are independent of each other, we multiply the number of choices for the morning by the number of choices for the evening. - Therefore, the total number of choices is: \[ \text{Total Choices} = \text{Choices in Morning} \times \text{Choices in Evening} = 6 \times 4 \] 5. **Final Calculation**: - Performing the multiplication: \[ 6 \times 4 = 24 \] Thus, the total number of possible choices for the student is **24**.
