To determine the number of possible outcomes illustrated in the tree diagram, we can analyze the options provided.

  1. Crust Options: There are 2 options:

    • Crispy
    • Thick
  2. Topping Options: There are also 2 options:

    • Pepperoni
    • Sausage

To find the total number of outcomes, we can multiply the number of crust options by the number of topping options:

\[ \text{Total Outcomes} = \text{Number of Crust Options} \times \text{Number of Topping Options} = 2 \times 2 = 4 \]

The possible outcomes are:

  1. Crispy with Pepperoni
  2. Crispy with Sausage
  3. Thick with Pepperoni
  4. Thick with Sausage

Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes illustrated in the tree diagram is 4.
