Jacob is trying to figure out what to wear to school. he has 5 shirts,3 pairs of pants and 2 pairs of socks to choose from. how many outfits can he make.

Technically he has 6*4*3=72 different outfits (considering that he could also choose not to wear an item also...)

But I would imagine that the question does not allow for that option so..

5*3*2=30 outfits.

put like terms together.orremember that the 45 becomes negative when moved to the other side.orthe minuses cancel out.
