Question

Use the table to predict the number of times you spin 5 when you spin the spinner 100 times​

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

7 * 2 = 14

Answer 2

14

Explanation:

Add all values in "Times spun".

9 + 11 + 7 + 9 + 7 + 7

= 50

The spinner was spun a total of 50 times in the table.

We are looking for information if the spinner is spun 100 times, which is double of 50.

To predict information for spinning 100 times, double the data given in the table.

# of times "5" was spun for 50 spins (in table): 7

Double 7:

7 * 2 = 14

# of times "5" will likely be spun for 100 spins: 14

Or, solve using proportions:

The proportions are given in: (times "5" was spun)/(total spins)

`(7)/(50) = (?)/(100)`

Since you double 50 to make 100, double 7 to solve for "?"

`(7)/(50) = (14)/(100)`

∴ if you spin the spinner 100 times, you will spin "5" 14 times.
