Question

You have a four color spinner and a six color spinner. Both are spun at the same time. What are the total number of possible outcomes?

1. 4
2. 10
3. 6
4. 24

Answer 1

To find the number of possible outcomes when spinning a four color spinner and a six color spinner together, we multiply the outcomes of each spinner (4 × 6), resulting in 24 possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total number of possible outcomes when spinning a four color spinner and a six color spinner at the same time. To find this, we multiply the number of outcomes possible in the first spinner by the number of outcomes possible in the second spinner. Since the four color spinner can land on any of its four colors, and the six color spinner on any of its six, we multiply 4 (for the four color spinner) by 6 (for the six color spinner).

c. Multiply the two numbers of outcomes. The answer is: 4 × 6 = 24.

Therefore, there are 24 total possible outcomes when both spinners are spun at the same time.
