Solution

To answer this question, we need to consider all possible outcomes when spinning the spinner twice.

  1. For the first spin, there are 5 possibilities: you can get a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
  2. For the second spin, there are also 5 possibilities: you can get a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.

Now, we need to consider all possible sums of these outcomes. The smallest sum you can get is 2 (1+1) and the largest sum is 10 (5+5).

So, the possible sums are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Therefore, there are 9 possible outcomes when you spin the spinner twice and add the numbers.
