Answer 1

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**.
