There are in total 18 different meals possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the restaurant:

The choices available for the main dish are: hamburger or hot dog

So, the main dish has total of 2 choices.

The choices available for the side dish are:

French Fries, Apple Slices or Veggie Sticks

So, the side dish has total of 3 choices.

The choices available for a drink are : Soda, Tea or Juice

So, the drink has total of 3 choices.

The complete meal Consist of MAIN DISH + SIDE DISH + DRINK

Now, here the total possible meals

= The number of choices available for (Main dish x Side dish x Drink)

= 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

So, there are in total 18 different meals possible.
