А.
SO
O B. 3
Ос. 4
O D. 1 / 4

Answer 1

Area covered by red target = 23/50

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of shot = 50

Section Number of shots

Red 23

Blue 8

Orange 10

Yellow 9

Find:

Area covered by red target

Computation:

Area covered by red target = 23/50

Area covered by red target = 1/2 of total area

Answer 2

The fraction of the area of the Red section is
`(23)/(50)`

Explanation:

Given that,

The number of times the arrow landed on each colored section of the spinner is shown in the table.

Tamara spun the arrow on a spinner 50 times.

Section = Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow

Number of times arrow landed = 23, 8, 10, 9

We need to calculate the fraction of the area of the Red section

Using formula of fraction of area

`fraction\ of\ area=(Red\ section)/(total\ section)`

Put the value into the formula

`fraction\ of\ area=(23)/(50)`

Hence, The fraction of the area of the Red section is
`(23)/(50)`
