A rock climbing equipment provider manufactures prepackaged ropes based on color, thickness, and length. If ropes can be ordered in 8 different colors, 3 different thicknesses, and 4 different lengths, how many possible types of prepackaged ropes are offered?

96 possible types

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of different types of prepackaged ropes, we just need to multiply the number of possibilities for each characteristics of the rope:

Color: 8 different types

Thickness: 3 different types

Length: 4 different types

Total number of different prepackaged ropes: 8 * 3 * 4 = 96 different prepackaged ropes
