If the first event occurs in m ways and the second event occurs in n ways, then two events occur in a sequence of mn ways, according to the basic counting principle.
There are 7 choices of appetizer, 12 choices of entrée, and 6 choices of dessert. 
Hence, total number of different meals is, 7×12×6=504. 
Thus, 504 different means are available to select an appetizer, an entrée, and a dessert.
