Nope.
You have three pairs of shorts and two shirts. You can certainly make more than two outfits from these clothes.
You can wear:
red shorts + white shirt
red shorts + red shirt
blue shorts + white shirt
blue shorts + red shirt
tan shorts + white shirt
tan shorts + red shirt
That's what I count.
Do you understand why?
no u i cant say the word
To calculate the number of outfits you can make with the given clothes, you need to consider all possible combinations.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Start with the first pair of shorts, which is red. You can pair it with both the white shirt and the red shirt. So, there are 2 different outfits possible with the red shorts.
2. Move on to the next pair of shorts, which is blue. You can again pair it with both shirts, resulting in 2 different outfits.
3. Finally, consider the last pair of shorts, which is tan. As before, you can pair it with either shirt to get 2 different outfits.
To find the total number of outfits, you just need to add up the individual counts from each pair of shorts:
2 (outfits with red shorts) + 2 (outfits with blue shorts) + 2 (outfits with tan shorts) = 6
Therefore, with the given clothes, you can make a total of 6 different outfits for your weekend at the beach.
