Each section of a spinner is labeled with a unique number and is the same size and shape as the other sections. The spinner is spun two times. The number of possible outcomes is 16. How many sections is the spinner divided into?

If you have 16 total outcomes on the spinner, it'll be divided into 4 different sections.

Section 1
Section 2
Section 3
Section 4

If you spin the spinner twice, there are 16 different outcomes you can get from it.

1. 1 & 1
2. 1 & 2
3. 1 & 3
4. 1 & 4
5. 2 & 1
6. 2 & 2
7. 2 & 3
8. 2 & 4
9. 3 & 1
10. 3 & 2
11. 3 & 3
12. 3 & 4
13. 4 & 1
14. 4 & 2
15. 4 & 3
16. 4 & 4

Hope that helps!
