Jen -- how can you have a fraction of a ration of an outfit?
How many different outfits can she wear?
How many different outfits can she wear?
17 different outfits?
No.
I suggest you draw this problem. Draw 8 tops, 4 skirts, and 5 pairs of shoes.
She can wear each of the tops with each of the skirts and each pair of shoes.
