Okay, let's break this down step-by-step:

* The spinner has 5 equal sections, numbered 1 through 5.

* Each section represents a 1 in 5 chance of landing on a particular number.

* The spinner has a 3 section.

* Jashon will spin the spinner 150 times.

So, to calculate the expected number of times a 3 will come up:

* There is 1 section for the number 3 out of the 5 total sections.

* So the probability of landing on the 3 section is 1/5 = 0.2

* In 150 spins, the probability of landing on 3 will be 0.2 multiplied by 150 spins.

* So 0.2 * 150 = 30

Therefore, if Jashon spins the spinner 150 times, he can expect the number 3 to come up approximately 30 times.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
