Answer:
[tex]80[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Rossi has 5 different movies to choose from, 8 restaurants to choose from, and 2 sporting events to choose from.
For each movie, he has 8 different restaurants to choose from, and for each of those restaurants, he has 2 sporting events to choose from.
Since he plans to go to each event in a specific order (movie -> restaurants-> sporting event), there are [tex]5\cdot 8\cdot 2 =\boxed{80}[/tex] different dates possible.
