The number can be as low as 2 or as high as 16, so there are only 15 possibilities. There are 60 different combinations, but many of them give the same sum. For instance, if you spun 10 and rolled 1, you'd get 11. If you spun 7 and rolled 4, you'd also get 11.

The spin and the roll are independent. That means that you can multiply to get total possibilities. Consider a spin first. You'd have 10 possible results. The roll the die. For each of the 10 spin numbers there are 6 possible die numbers, giving a total of 60 possibilities for the combined event.

There are 6 possible outcomes for the roll of the die.
There are 10 possible outcomes for the spinner
Total outcmes is thus 10*6 =60
