There are two spinners. the first spinner has three equal sectors labeled 1, 2 and 3. the second spinner has four equal sectors labeled 3, 4, 5 and 6. the spinners are spun once.
what is the number of possible outcomes that do not show a 1 on the first spinner and show the number 4 on the second spinner?

Given that the first spinner has three equal sectors labelled 1, 2 and 3; and the second spinner has equal sectors labelled 3, 4, 5 and 6.

The number of possible outcomes that do not show a 1 on the first spinner is 2 (i.e. the first spinner shows 2 or 3).

The number of possible outcomes that the second spinner show the number 4 is 1 (i.e. the second spinner shows 4)

In probability, the word 'and' goes with multiplication.

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes that do not show a 1 on the first spinner and show the number 4 on the second spinner is given by 2 x 1 = 2 possible outcomes.

i.e. the first spinner shows the number 2 and the second spinner shows the number 4 or the first spinner shows the number 3 and the second spinner shows the number 4.
