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:
Thus, the total number of possible outcomes is 12.
