Step 1
Given: Monitors: 1 of 4
Keyboards: 1 of 3
Computers: 1 of 5
Notice the pattern:
I can pair 4 monitors with first keyboard. Then once more 4 monitors but now with the second keyboard. Then again with the third keyboard.
That is 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 or Monitors × Keyboard = 4 3 = 12
Step 2
If we include computers into the pattern we get:
Monitors x Keyboards x Computers = 4 × 3 × 5 = 60
We have 60 different possibilities of choosing monitors, keyboards and computers.
