Question

One spinner has 24 equal sections and 8 are red. A second spinner has 32 equal sections and 8 are red. What is the probability that red will be spun on both spinners?

Answer 1

1/12

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

Probability that BOTH is red is individual probabilities multiplied together.

• P(red) in the first spinner is
  `(8)/(24)=(1)/(3)`
• P(red) in the second spinner is
  `(8)/(32)=(1)/(4)`

So probability that red will be spun on both spinners is
`(1)/(3)*(1)/(4)=(1)/(12)`
