\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The number of all possible outfits is the number of different pairs of colors (shirt,short).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "For shirts, you have 5 colors.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "For shorts, you have 3 colors.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The number of all possible pairs of colors is  5*3 = 15.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the number of all possible outfits is 15.      ANSWER\r\n" );
