I think purple and green
To determine the number of ways Tonya and Lauren can choose two colors for the soccer uniform, we can use the concept of combinations.
There are a total of 6 colors to choose from: green, purple, orange, yellow, blue, and silver. Since the order of the colors does not matter (i.e., selecting green and then purple is the same as selecting purple and then green), we can use the combination formula.
The combination formula is given by:
C(n, r) = n! / (r! * (n - r)!)
Where n is the total number of items to choose from, and r is the number of items to be chosen.
In this case, n = 6 (the total number of colors), and r = 2 (the number of colors they want to choose).
Using the combination formula:
C(6, 2) = 6! / (2! * (6 - 2)!)
= (6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / ((2 * 1) * (4 * 3 * 2 * 1))
= 720 / (2 * 24)
= 720 / 48
= 15
Therefore, Tonya and Lauren can choose two colors for their soccer uniform in 15 different ways.
