he could put together. (Use a visual representation, i.e table, tree diagram or an organized list)

Answer 1

To determine the number of different outfits, multiply the number of shirts (4) by the number of pants (3), which results in 12 different outfits.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves combining shirts and pants to find different outfit combinations. With 4 shirts (red, blue, green, and orange) and 3 pairs of pants (jeans, khakis, and sweatpants), we can use a simple multiplication strategy to determine the number of potential outfits. By multiplying the number of shirt options by the number of pants options, we get:

• 4 shirts × 3 pants = 12 different outfits

A systematic list of all possible combinations would look like this:

1. Red shirt with jeans
2. Red shirt with khakis
3. Red shirt with sweatpants
4. Blue shirt with jeans
5. Blue shirt with khakis
6. Blue shirt with sweatpants
7. Green shirt with jeans
8. Green shirt with khakis
9. Green shirt with sweatpants
10. Orange shirt with jeans
11. Orange shirt with khakis
12. Orange shirt with sweatpants

These combinations represent all the outfits the child could put together using the given options.
