Jevonte is designing a new board game, and is trying to figure out all the possible outcomes. How many different possible outcomes are there if he spins a spinner with four equal-sized sections labeled Red, Green, Blue, Orange and spins a spinner with 5 equal-sized sections labeled Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday?
There are 20 different possible outcomes. To see why, you can create a table with all the possible combinations of colors and days:
| RED | GREEN | BLUE | ORANGE |
| --- | ----- | ---- | ------ |
| M | M | M | M |
| M | M | M | Tu |
| M | M | M | W |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
| F | F | F | F |
There are 4 options for the first spinner and 5 options for the second spinner, so there are 4 x 5 = 20 possible outcomes.
To find the number of different possible outcomes, we need to multiply the number of options on each spinner.
The first spinner has 4 equal-sized sections, so it has 4 options.
The second spinner has 5 equal-sized sections, so it has 5 options.
To find the total number of possible outcomes, we multiply the number of options on each spinner:
4 options for the first spinner * 5 options for the second spinner = 20 possible outcomes.
Therefore, there are 20 different possible outcomes for Jevonte's board game.
To find the number of different possible outcomes when spinning both spinners, we will multiply the number of possible outcomes for each spinner.
First, let's count the possible outcomes for the first spinner with four equal-sized sections labeled Red, Green, Blue, and Orange. Since each section on the spinner is equally likely, we have four possible outcomes.
Next, let's count the possible outcomes for the second spinner with five equal-sized sections labeled Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Again, since each section is equally likely, we have five possible outcomes.
To calculate the total number of possible outcomes for both spinners, we multiply the number of possible outcomes for each spinner. So, 4 (outcomes for the first spinner) multiplied by 5 (outcomes for the second spinner) equals 20.
Therefore, there are 20 different possible outcomes when spinning both spinners.
