Start by calculating the number of parts numbered 3.
B
The outcomes of a specific event are called favorable outcomes.

B
Orange part number 3, Blue part number 3, Violet part number 3
Practice makes perfect
We want to find the number of ways in which we can spin 3 on the spinner. We can do so by calculating the number of parts numbered 3 on the diagram!
We can see on the diagram that there are 3 parts numbered 3. This means that we can spin 3 in 3 ways.
We want to find the favorable outcomes of spinning 3. We can recall that the outcomes of a specific event, in this case spinning 3, are called favorable outcomes. We can determine the favorable outcomes using our diagram!
The favorable outcomes include choosing one of the three parts numbered 3. We can use this information to list the favorable outcomes!
Favorable Outcomes
3, 3, 3
