Answer: 7

Explanation:

The 1st spinner can land on 2, 3, 4, or 5

The 2nd spinner can land on 2 or 3

The 3rd spinner can land on 6, 7, or 8

1st spinner + 2nd spinner + 3rd spinner:

2 + 2 + 6 = 10, 2 + 2 + 7 = 11, 2 + 2 + 8 = 12 --> 3 different sums

2 + 3 + 6 = 11, 2 + 3 + 7 = 12, 2 + 3 + 8 = 13 --> 1 different sum

This pattern follows where the only new sums are as follows:

3 + 3 + 8 = 14

4 + 3 + 8 = 15

5 + 3 + 8 = 16

This makes a total of 7 different sums.
