Answer:
Mr. Johnson has 12 possibilities.
Step-by-step explanation:
The information provided are:
- Mr. Johnson has a white shirt, a plaid shirt, and a blue shirt.
- Mr. Johnson has four pairs of pants, black, brown, gray, and white.
- He chooses one shirt and one pair of pants.
Compute the number of ways to select a shirt and a pair of pants as follows:
Total number of ways = Number of Shirts × Number of pair of pants

Thus, Mr. Johnson has 12 possibilities.
F(n) = 1st term - common difference (n - 1)
The operation is subtraction because the sequence is decreasing.
n = number of the term you are looking for
1st term = 1st number in the sequence, in this case, 16
common difference = difference between one number to the next
f(n) = 16 - 1(n-1)
Assuming we are looking for the 5th term.
f(5) = 16 - 1(5-1)
= 16 - 1(4)
= 16 - 4
= 12 * as you can see, 12 is the 5th term of the sequence.
If you are looking for the equivalent of the nth term, simply substitute n by the number you are looking for and solve the equation.
