Answer:

there are 6 possible outcomes with a 1/6 chance of a red shirt with white jeans

Explanation:

I'm listing them in shirt the jeans and the letter corresponds to the color of them

r b

b w

b b

g w

g b

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

since there are two colors of jeans that is a .5 ( or 1/2) chance of grabbing it and three different shirts which is a .33 (or 1/3)

1/3 x 1/2 = 1/6

hope this helps for the third time lol
