In a different ice cream parlor there are only 7 flavors, but there are 5 choices for toppings. how many different bowls of ice cream could you create if you select 3 flavors and 2 toppings?

You could only make two.

Lets say...
Strawberry, vanilla, chocolate ice-cream and raisins, Oreos, and gummy bear toppings.

And again...
Orange, cherry, and apple ice-cream and Butterfinger, sprinkles, and m&m toppings.

So you have 1 type of ice-cream left and 1 topping that's not enough to make another bowl that has three flavors and 2 toppings.

2.4+3.2t. you get the answer by adding the ones with variables and ones without

9.8? i'm not really sure
