Question

If a woman has 10 blouses, 6 skirts and 4 pairs of shoes, in how many ways can she choose two dresses and two pairs of shoes assuming any combination of blouse, skirt and pair of shoe matches.

Answer 1

A dress is different from a blouse and a skirt!  So I'll rephrase this as how many ways can she dress, to wear one blouse, one skirt and one pair of matching shoes.

 

You just multiply the # of blouses, the # of skirts, and the # of pairs of shoes; answer = 10(6)(4) = 240
