You can put this solution on YOUR website! sue has 4 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, and 3 socks that all match. It says I have to draw a tree diagram and find the total number of outfits she can make. I don't know this question..
----
Draw a vertical "Root" column with four shirts: A,B,C,D
----
To the right of the Root draw a vertical "Branch" column
which has a,b to the right of each of the Root elements.
---
To the right of the Branch column draw a vertical "Leaf" column
with has 1,2,3 to the right of each Branch element.
-----
You should end up with 4*2*3 = 24 root/brance/leaf patterns
such as B/a/2
