Question

There is a spinner with 15 equal areas, numbered 1 through 15. If the spinner is spunone time, what is the probability that the result is a multiple of 3 and a multiple of 2?

Answer 1

13.3%

Explanation:

The numbers that are on the spinner are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

The only numbers that are multiples of both 2 and 3 are 6 and 12. This constitutes two numbers. Therefore, the probability that the result is a multiple of 3 and a multiple of 2 is

2 numbers / 15 numbers * 100% = 13.3% (rounded to the nearest tenth).
