Question

You spin each spinner and find the sum how many different sums are possible​

Answer 1

let's use a sample set.

8+8, 8+4, 8+5, 8+6, 8+7

4+8, 4+4, 4+5, 4+6, 4+7

5+8, 5+4, 5+5, 5+6, 5+7

6+8, 6+4, 6+5, 6+6, 6+7

7+8, 7+4, 7+5, 7+6, 7+7

There is 25 sums.

Answer 2

The total number of possible sums is: 25.

Spinner has the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 on its sides.

In this case, the number of possible sums can be calculated by multiplying the number of sides on each spinner.

General, if you have two spinners with n sides each, the number of different sums is n × n.

Since each spinner has 5 sides, the total number of possible sums is 5 × 5 = 25.
