DefinitionIn Mathematics, a combination is a way of selecting different things, not occuring to a specific order.

Ex. Sarah and Jasmine wants to breed their fish. Sarah has one lionfish, one angelfish, two red devil fish, and one gold fish. Jasmine has one algea eater, one goldfish, and one catfish. What are the possible combinations?

Usually your teacher would tell you to make tree combination. But, the easiest way to find the total combinations is to multiply. Count all of the fish in each group and multiply them. Which would be 5x3 you would get 15 combinations.

There you have it!

Thankss.
