By counting the total number of outcomes, we conclude that the spinner has 4 sections.

Let's say that the spinner has N sections.

If we spin it twice, for the first outcome we have N possible outcomes and for the second spin there are N possible outcomes.

Then for the experiment of spinning the spinner twice, the number of outcomes is:

O = N*N

And we know that the number of possible outcomes for spinning the spinner twice is 16, then we have:

16 = N*N = N^2

Solving for N, we have:

N = √16 = 4

Then we conclude that the spinner has 4 sections.
