Two spinners that have sections numbered 1 through 5 are spun at the same time. Then, the numbers are added together. What is the total number of possible sums?

9

10

18

25

Verified Answer :

Answer: First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of spinners = 2

Number written on section of spinners = 1 to 5

So, possible outcomes will be

\(1+1=2\\\\1+2=3\\\\1+3=4\\\\1+4=5\\\\1+5=6\\\\2+2=4\\\\2+3=5\\\\2+4=6\\\\2+5=7\\\\3+3=6\\\\3+4=7\\\\3+5=8\\\\4+4=8\\\\4+5=9\\\\5+5=10\)

So, the total number of possible sums = 9

(as the sums which can come out of this is - 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.)

Hence, First option is correct.

The total number of possible sums is 25

Probability

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Given two spinners with sections labeled 1 to 5, if they are spun at the same time, then the total number of possible sums is expressed as:

Total possible sum = 5 * 5

Total possible sum - 25
