Question

4) A spinner has the numbers 1 - 12. What is the probability of spinning a

number greater than 7?*

Answer 1

5/12

Explanation:

since there are 5 values that are possible that are greater than 7 (8.9.10.11.12) you can take that number and divide by the total number of outcomes. so 5/12 is the probability that you will get a number greater than 7.

Answer 2

42%

Explanation:

12-7 = 5

5/12 = .416
