There are 2 appetizers, 4 entrees and 2 deserts available for a meal. so the total number of possible combinations (and hence the number of different meals a diner can select) will be 2 x 4 x 2 = 16.

The choices of appetizer, entree, and dessert are independent of each other. Independent choices multiply. Because there are 2 options for the appetizer, 4 options for the entree, and 2 options for the dessert, the total number of unique combinations is 2 x 4 x 2, which equals 16.
