I want to make a banana split using vanilla, chocolate,
and strawberry ice cream. If I make it with 3 scoops of ice cream,
how many different ways can I make a banana split? For example, one
way would be to use 3 scoops of only vanilla ice cream.
Show your work.
For 4th and 5th graders (worth an extra buck for 1st - 3rd graders): A
banana can be split into 3 equal sections (try it sometime). How many bananas
will I need to make all the different banana splits found above if each one
uses two sections of banana (one on each side)?
