Answer 1

Given that Rob has 4 shirts, 3 pairs of pants, and 2 pair of shoes.

Rob has 4 shirts, he can wear each with 3 different pairs of pants.

Thus,

`\begin{gathered} 4\text{ }*3 \\ =12 \end{gathered}`

Each of the combinations can be worn with 2 different pairs of shoes. Thus,

`\begin{gathered} 12*2 \\ =24 \end{gathered}`

This implies that Rob can put his outfit together in 24 ways.
