Question

Spinner is divided equally into 4 sections, each a different color. A second spinner is divided equally into 5 sections, which are numbered 1 through 5. If the first spinner is spun and then the second one, how many outcomes are possible?

Answer 1

20 possible outcomes.

Explanation:

In order to find the total number of outcomes that are possible, we need to multiply the number of possible outcomes from the first spinner with the possible number of outcomes from the second spinner. The first spinner has 4 possible outcomes while the second spinner has a total of 5 possible outcomes meaning that we need to multiply these two values together...

4 * 5 = 20 outcomes

Finally, we can see that by spinning each spinner only once we have a total of 20 possible outcomes.
