an outfit consists of skirt and a blouse. if there are 6 skirts and 8 blouses from which to choose, then how many different outfits are possible? we assume that any possible combination can be worn together.
To find the number of different outfits possible when choosing a skirt and a blouse, you need to multiply the number of options for each item. In this case, there are 6 skirts and 8 blouses to choose from.
The total number of different outfits is found by multiplying the number of options for skirts (6) by the number of options for blouses (8).
Mathematically, it can be represented as:
Number of outfits = Number of skirt options × Number of blouse options
= 6 × 8
= 48
So, there are 48 different outfits possible when choosing a skirt and a blouse from the given options.
