To find the total number of possible outfits with pairs of jeans, 8 t-shirts, and 2 pairs of shoes, you multiply the number of options for each clothing category:

• Number of jeans options = 1 (assuming "pairs of jeans" means 1 pair)
• Number of t-shirts = 8
• Number of shoes = 2

The total outfits = (jeans) × (t-shirts) × (shoes) = 1 × 8 × 2 = 16 outfits. If you have more than one pair of jeans, multiply by that number as well. This follows the fundamental counting principle where each choice is independent and combined by multiplication
