Question 305316: If I had 5 pairs of shorts and 6 different shirts, please show me a tree diagram to find the number of possible ways I can wear my shorts and shirts. Please show me. I know it sounds silly, but it's a question on my test and I"m stuck. Thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website! If I had 5 pairs of shorts and 6 different shirts, please show me a tree diagram to find the number of possible ways I can wear my shorts and shirts.
-------------
In the 1st column put the 5 pair of shorts as a,b,c,d,e
---
In the column to the right put the set of numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 to the right
of each of the shirts.
---
You should end up with 5*6 = 30 branches on the tree.
=====================
