Question

Use the spinner below to find the probability of getting the following number after 1 spin.P(multiple of 5) = (Please enter a reduced fraction)

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering that we need to calculate the probability of getting a multiple of 5 after 1 spin, so remember that the probability of an event is obtained by dividing the favorable events over the possible events:

Favorable events: Favorable events are getting a 5, or a 10; therefore they are two favorable events.

Possible events: There are twelve possible events that can occur.

Finally we obtain:

P(multiple of 5)=2/12

P(multiple of 5)=1/6
