Use a tree diagram or a table to determine how many possible outcomes there are when a spinner that has three equal parts labeled 1 2 3 is spun three times 27 981.4

1 answer

To calculate the number of possible outcomes when a spinner is spun three times, we can use a tree diagram.

First spin:
- On the first spin, there are 3 possible outcomes: 1, 2, or 3.

Second spin:
- For each outcome on the first spin, there are 3 possible outcomes on the second spin: 1, 2, or 3.

Third spin:
- For each outcome on the second spin, there are 3 possible outcomes on the third spin: 1, 2, or 3.

To find the total number of possible outcomes, multiply the number of outcomes at each spin:
3 possibilities x 3 possibilities x 3 possibilities = 27 possible outcomes

Therefore, there are 27 possible outcomes when a spinner with three equal parts labeled 1, 2, and 3 is spun three times.
