Juan owns 7 pairs of pants, 3 shirts, 5 ties, and 6 jackets. How many different outfits can he wear to school if he must wear on
1 answer:
To solve this problem, just use multiplication.
You can somewhat think of this situation as a sort of tree. You start with 7 large branches representing the pants, then for every one of those you have 3 medium-sized branches to represent the pairs of pants. Each one of those has 5 sticks for the ties, which in turn each have 6 leaves to represent the jackets and therefore a complete outfit. The solution is found by getting the total number of leaves on the tree.

0.0181 yd/s. To solve this problem you use dimensional analysis. You convert the feet and minutes to yards and seconds by using this process. The units of feet and minutes cancel out, so you are left with yards per second. You should get 0.0180555555 when you multiply and divide everything, but you can just round it to 0.0181 or whatever place your teacher wants.
