Answer 1

Answer: 84 salads.

Step-by-step explanation: Assuming that this is Sequences, Probabilities, and Conics, then the number of salads that you can make with the ingredients is 84. Let's see why.

7*6*4*2 = 336, but you need four ingredients to make the salad, so 336/4 = 84, thus 84 salads you can make.

Answer 2

For probability, to find all options of something, multiply every option by its outcomes. For example, a coin. There are 2 sides to a coin so lets say you flip it 3 times. 2×2×2 is 8. There are 8 combos you can get.

You can apply that here as well. 7 lettuce × 6 tomatoes × 2 cucumbers × 4 peppers = 336 options. Then /4 to get 84 salads.
