1. **State the problem:** We want to find how many different ways it is possible to get a total of 6 when two fair spinners are spun and their results are added together.
2. **Understand the spinners:**
- Spinner A has values: 1, 2, 3
- Spinner B has values: 1, 2, 3, 4
3. **Possible sums:** The sum is formed by adding a value from Spinner A and a value from Spinner B.
4. **Find all pairs (a,b) such that $a + b = 6$ where $a \in \{1,2,3\}$ and $b \in \{1,2,3,4\}$:**
- For $a=1$, $b=6-1=5$ (not in Spinner B)
- For $a=2$, $b=6-2=4$ (valid)
- For $a=3$, $b=6-3=3$ (valid)
5. **Count valid pairs:**
- $(2,4)$
- $(3,3)$
6. **Answer:** There are **2** different ways to get a total of 6.
