Question

If a computer monitor has 4 paletes and each palete has 4 colors how many blended colors can be formed?

Answer 1

rainbow! etc...

Answer 2

4x4x4x4 IF each pallet has different colors and you're required to use one from each.

If it's 4 identical pallets with a requirement to use one from each and not to repeat blends that's a wee bit trickier.

Answer 3

4x4x4x4=256

Whenever you have combination choice questions like this you take the number of objects in each set times the number of sets.  Each set has four objects and you multiply it four time because there are four sets.  

This is how you solve any combination problem.
