The multiplication principle states that if there are multiple choices to be made, the total number of combinations is the product of the number of choices for each decision. Here, there are 6 choices for appetizers, 10 choices for main courses, and 4 choices for desserts. Therefore, the total number of different meals is 6 * 10 * 4 = 240.
