Answer:

6 outfits.

Explanation:

Bob has 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants. That means he can wear one of the two shirts with any of the three pants (which'd make 3 outfits) and then with the other shirt with any of those three pants again (which'd make another three outfits.

Since you want to find out how many outfits Bob can make using the five articles of clothing, therefore 3+3=6 and 6 outfits would be your answer.

If you want to think of this problem another way, in simpler terms you can think of it like this: 2*3=6. Two shirts times three pants, which equals to six that makes our answer Bob can make six different outfits from his options above.
