5. Lindani has two pairs of jeans: a warm pair for winter and a lighter pair for summer. He also has three shirts: a summer I-shirt, a winter shirt and a checked summer sports shirt. a) How many outfits can he create by mixing and matching the shirts and jeans? b) If he chooses clothing from his cupboard without looking, what is the probability that he would choose a pair of jeans and a shirt that are suitable for summer weather?

Lindani can mix and match his clothing items in a fun way! To calculate the total outfits he can create, we need to consider the 2 pairs of jeans and 3 shirts. He can pair each pair of jeans with any of the shirts, giving us 2 jeans x 3 shirts = 6 unique outfits. So, Lindani has 6 fabulous ways to express his style. Now, let’s talk about the summer selections. He has 1 pair of summer jeans and 2 summer shirts (the summer I-shirt and the checked sports shirt). The total possible choices he can make from his cupboard without looking is 5 (2 jeans + 3 shirts). The summer combo of jeans and shirts is 1 (summer jeans) x 2 (summer shirts) = 2 suitable outfits. Therefore, the probability of choosing a summer outfit is 2 summer outfits out of 5 total choices, which simplifies to 2/5. Stylish and ready for summer!
