Question

One spinner is divided into five equal sections numbered 1 to 5. A second spinner is divided into seven equal sections numbered 6 to 12. How many total outcomes are there if both spinners are spun?

Answer 1

Spinning the first and second spinner will give 5 and 7 outcomes, respectively. To determine the total combinations or total outcome if these two are spun, use the Fundamental Principles of Counting. The total outcome is the product of the two outcomes. Thus, the answer is 35. 

Answer 2

Answer: Hence, there are 35 outcomes in total if both the spinners are spun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of outcomes for spinner numbered 1 to 5 = 5

Number of outcomes for spinner numbered 6 to 12 = 7

So, Using the Fundamental theorem of Counting, we get the total number of outcomes when both the spinners are spun together.

So, Number of total outcomes would be

$7\times 5\\\\=35$

Hence, there are 35 outcomes in total if both the spinners are spun.
