Answer 1

Steve can create 180 unique outfits by choosing one out of 9 shirts, one out of 5 hats, and one out of 4 scarves, as the calculation is 9 × 5 × 4 = 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject question asks: How many unique outfits can Steve create by wearing one shirt, one hat, and one scarf?

To determine the number of unique outfits Steve can create, we need to multiply the number of options for each item of clothing. Steve has 9 different shirts, 5 different hats, and 4 different scarves. So, the total number of unique outfits is calculated by 9 shirts × 5 hats × 4 scarves equals 180 different outfits.

Hence, the answer is (d) 180.
