To solve this problem, we can use the fundamental principle of counting. 

Keisha has:
- 2 choices for shirts,
- 2 choices for pants, and
- 3 choices for caps.

The total number of different outfits she can make is calculated by multiplying the number of choices for each item:

\[
2 \times 2 \times 3 = 12
\]

So, Keisha can make **12 different outfits**.

Here are some related questions for further practice:
1. What if Keisha had 4 shirts instead of 2? How many outfits could she make then?
2. How would the total number of outfits change if she had only 1 cap?
3. If Keisha adds a pair of shoes with 2 options, how many total outfits would she have?
4. What if Keisha had 3 shirts, 3 pants, and 3 caps—how many outfit combinations would be possible?
5. How does the fundamental principle of counting help in calculating combinations in larger sets?

**Tip:** When faced with multiple independent choices, multiply the number of choices for each category to find the total possible combinations.

Keisha must choose a shirt, a pair of pants, and a cap for today's outfit. She has 2 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, and 3 caps to choose from. How many different outfits can she make?

Learn how to calculate the total number of outfits Keisha can create by combining different shirts, pants, and caps. With 2 shirts, 2 pants, and 3 caps, discover the power of combinatorics using the multiplication principle. Suitable for Grades 4-6.
