Answer 1

37.5% probability of the spinner landing on the number that's greater than five

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

There are 8 total sections, from 1 to 8.

3 of those sections, 6, 7 and 8, are numbers that are greater than five.

3/8 = 0.375

37.5% probability of the spinner landing on the number that's greater than five
