Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The 1st spinner can land on 2, 3, 4, or 5
The 2nd spinner can land on 2 or 3
The 3rd spinner can land on 6, 7, or 8
1st spinner + 2nd spinner + 3rd spinner:
2 + 2 + 6 = 10, 2 + 2 + 7 = 11, 2 + 2 + 8 = 12 --> 3 different sums
2 + 3 + 6 = 11, 2 + 3 + 7 = 12, 2 + 3 + 8 = 13 --> 1 different sum
This pattern follows where the only new sums are as follows:
3 + 3 + 8 = 14
4 + 3 + 8 = 15
5 + 3 + 8 = 16
This makes a total of 7 different sums.
