If one turn consists of spinning each spinner once, which table shows all the possible outcomes for one turn?

Answer 4

D.

Answer 5

Ok, to start, which table doesn't show the combination of both spinners?

Answer 6

c

Answer 7

Ok, so get rid of that one.

Answer 8

Now, when you are doing the possible outcomes of something, you don't repeat the same combination unless you have multiple times that can be the outcome.

Answer 9

So if you had a spinner with: 9, 8, 4, 0, & 9, and a spinner with: A, B, & C, your outcomes would be 9A twice, 9B twice, and 9C twice. But our spinner only has each variable once.

Answer 10

So which one repeats an outcome?

Answer 11

D

Answer 12

Ok, eliminate that answer.

Answer 13

Answer 14

Answer 15

You need all outcomes, which means one variable on the first spinner has a combination with each variable on the second spinner. Which one doesn't show all of the combinations possible?
