You have 5 pairs of pants, 8 shirts, and 3 ties - how many different outfits can you make?

First they have to decide on a pair of pants and they have 8 different choices. For each of those choices they have a choice of 5 different shirts, so that gives them 8 times 5 = 40 different pant/shirt combinations. For each those 40 possibilities, they have 3 different ties they could select, so altogether they have 40 times 3 = 120 different outfits.

i would have to say it is c.

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
