ted is an airline attendant and must wear a uniform to work.he has 3 shirts,4 slacks,and 2 ties from which to choose.how many outfits are possible with these choices?

3 * 4 * 2 = ?

24

Right.

To find the number of outfits that Ted can have with these choices, we need to use the concept of permutations.

Since Ted has 3 shirts, he can choose any of the 3 shirts as his first choice. After making his first choice, he will have 2 remaining shirts to choose from. Similarly, he has 4 slacks to choose from initially, and once he selects one, he will have 3 remaining slacks. Finally, he has 2 ties initially, and after choosing one, he will have 1 remaining tie.

To find the number of outfits, we need to multiply the number of choices for each category:

Number of choices for shirts = 3
Number of choices for slacks = 4
Number of choices for ties = 2

By multiplying these together, we get:

Number of outfits = 3 * 4 * 2 = 24

Therefore, there are 24 possible outfits for Ted to choose from with these choices.
