You pick one card from each set and find the sum. How many different sums are possible?

1
2
3
4
5
2
3
4
5
6

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the possible sums, you can consider all the combinations of one card from each set and add them up. Let's list all the possible sums:

1 + 2 = 3

1 + 3 = 4

1 + 4 = 5

1 + 5 = 6

2 + 2 = 4

2 + 3 = 5

2 + 4 = 6

2 + 5 = 7

3 + 2 = 5

3 + 3 = 6

3 + 4 = 7

3 + 5 = 8

4 + 2 = 6

4 + 3 = 7

4 + 4 = 8

4 + 5 = 9

5 + 2 = 7

5 + 3 = 8

5 + 4 = 9

5 + 5 = 10

So, there are 8 different possible sums: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. The correct answer from the given options is:
