Answer:

There are 27 possible outcomes

Explanation:

The first spin can be any of the 3 colors (r,y,g), so there are 3 possibilities for the 1st spin. This is the same for the other 2 spins, too.

You get

3 possibilities* 3 possibilities* 3 possibilities =

27 total possibilities.

They go as follows ( red = r, yellow = y, green = g)

rrr rry rrg ryr rgr yrr grr yyy yyr yyg yry ygy ryy gyy ggg ggr ggy grg gyg rgg ygg rgy ryg gyr gry yrg ygr
