Math Problem Statement

Maggie will spin each of these spinners once. How many outcomes are possible?

Solution

The problem involves two spinners:

  • The first spinner has 3 sections: A, B, C.
  • The second spinner has 4 sections: 1, 2, 3, 4.

To find the total number of possible outcomes, we multiply the number of choices from each spinner:

3×4=123 \times 4 = 12

Thus, the total number of possible outcomes is 12.

Would you like a breakdown of possible outcomes or more details?

Related Questions:

  1. How do you calculate the total outcomes for more than two spinners?
  2. What if the spinners had different numbers of sections?
  3. How can you represent all possible outcomes in a table?
  4. How do you find the probability of getting a specific result?
  5. How does adding another spinner change the total outcomes?

Tip: When solving probability or counting problems, always break them into smaller steps and apply multiplication principles systematically!
