The simple way to do this is to multiply the number of outcomes of one object times the number of outcomes in the other object. In this case a quarter has 2 sides, heads and tails. Since the spinner has 6 sections, there are 6 outcomes.
With this we can do, 2x6=12.
Therefore there are 12 outcomes
You have to subtract $40 from $68 make sure the larger number is in the front. If you did that all you would get $28.
Notice that if you go forward, the common ratio is 5. Each new term is found by mult. the previous term by 5.
If, on the other hand, you go backwards (terms decreasing), then you divide a term to find what the previous term was.
Here, divide 1 by 5 to find the first term. It's 1/5.
7 is the answer because 7 is great and is always the answer
