Final answer:

The total number of outcomes is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of outcomes, we need to multiply the number of sizes of milkshakes by the number of flavors of ice cream. In this case, there are 3 sizes of milkshakes (S, M, L) and 5 flavors of ice cream (Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Mint, Lemon).

5 small milkshake outcomes

5 medium milkshake outcomes

and

5 large milkshake outcomes

since there are only 5 flavors you can only make 5 different milkshakes unless you want to mix the flavors to make

5+10= 15 so you could make 15 that mixing each ice cream with each other and then mixing all of them.
