Answer 2

Answer:  The required number of possible outfit combinations is 240.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a closet contains 8 shirts, 5 skirts, and 6 pairs of shoes.

We are to find the number of possible outfit combinations.

We know that

if there are m and n number of two different types of objects, then the number of possible combinations that can be made using these objects is

$m\times n.$

Therefore, the number of possible outfit combinations that can be made using   8 shirts, 5 skirts, and 6 pairs of shoes is given by

$N=8\times5\times6=240.$

Thus, the required number of possible outfit combinations is 240.
