Problem

Today we will study the method of finding the amount of combinations, or consecutive actions, or ways to select items from a bag which is called the Product rule. The main idea of this combinatorial is the following: if you are asked to perform an action that can be done in, say 5 ways and another action afterwards that can be done in 4 ways, then the total number of possibilities to perform two consecutive actions would be equal to 5×4. The reason for this is the opportunity to choose 4 possible second actions for each of the 5 choices of the first action already made before.
