To determine the number of different outfits that Jessica can make, we need to find the product of the number of choices for each clothing item.
In this case, Jessica has 11 options for skirts, 9 options for blouses, 3 options for belts, and 7 options for pairs of shoes. To find the total number of outfit combinations, we multiply these numbers together:
Number of outfit combinations = (number of skirt choices) × (number of blouse choices) × (number of belt choices) × (number of shoe choices)
Number of outfit combinations = 11 × 9 × 3 × 7
Calculating this expression gives us:
Number of outfit combinations = 231 × 3 × 7 = 4851
Therefore, Jessica can create 4,851 different outfits if she chooses one each from 11 skirts, 9 blouses, 3 belts, and 7 pairs of shoes.
