• Answer:

  You can only have 2 outfits, the two pairs of shoes is the reason. A. I think you can order 25 different pizzas with different toppings. 5 ² = 25 B. I think you can order 13 different scoop of ice cream and toppings. 3 ² + 2 ² = 9 + 4 = 13 C. I think the outcome will be 12. Each side of the cube has 2 sides of the coin. A cube has 6 sides 2 x 6 = 12 D. My answer is 15 items altogether, with respect to the pairs, I counted one per pair. 6 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 15 E. My answer is 30 different double-scoop cones, I only think so. 6 ² - 2 ² = 36 - 4 = 32 32 - 2 = 30 F. One of the two sweaters can have three shirts, meaning three outfits. There are two sweaters, which means the three outfits are doubled. 3 x 2 = 6 I think A, B and F are the three answers that you are looking for .. Not sure! =)
