9 possible outcomes.

1. There are two coins being flipped.
Possibilities:
HH (two heads) HT (heads and tails) TT (two tails)

There are three sides to the spinner
Possibilities:
Side 1 Side 2 Side 3

Since there are 3 possibilities for each, multiply them together
So, 3*3 which equals 9 possibilities
