Answer 1

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

You have 3 cities to visit: New York, San Francisco, and Miami. For each city, you have 3 months to choose from: June, July, and August.

To find the total possible outcomes, you multiply the number of cities by the number of months:

- Number of cities = 3 (New York, San Francisco, Miami)
- Number of months = 3 (June, July, August)

So the total number of possible outcomes is:

\[
3 \text{ cities} \times 3 \text{ months} = 9 \text{ possible outcomes}
\]

Therefore, the answer is **9**.
