Question

A local middle school adopted a policy for school uniforms. Students can wear black pants or tan pants. They can wear a yellow shirt, a red shirt, a green shirt, or a white shirt. The tree diagram shows the possible outfit choices.


How many different choices does a student have when choosing a pair of pants and a shirt?

2

4

8

10

Answer 1

The answer is 8 because you have black and tan pants so 2 pairs and then a green, red, white, and yellow shirt sooooo you have 4 choices of shirts to pair with your pants. So 2•4=8
