Answer:

She need to put on 6 underpants

Explanation:

She has learned from experience that she stays warm about 20 minutes for every undershirt she wears.

Time warmed by 1 undershirt = 20 minutes.

Total time she wants to stay out = 120 minutes

Number of underpants required
=(120)/(20)=6\texttt{ underpants}

So she need to put on 6 underpants
