The bowl contains one green, one yellow, and one red pear. How many ways are there to choose two pears?

lol.

If the order matters, then 6.
The bowl contains one green, one yellow, and one red pear. How many ways are there to choose two pears?
Same as the number of ways to choose 1 pear.
Reply:These are the combinations available

green+yellow pears

green+red pears

yellow+red pears

therefore there are three different ways to choose two pears
Reply:9 ways if you are asking about how many different combinations there are.

but in the litteral sense 1 way, you pick up the one or two that you want
Reply:If yellow is y, red is r, green g:



y-r

y-g

r-g



So 3
