Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

2 / 8 = 0.25

0.25 = 25%

Answer 2

25%

Explanation:

when we count, we know that there are 8 possible outcomes as to where the spinner will land.

{the following will be assuming each section has an equal chance of being landed on; that the spinner is not weighted}

We know that two of these 8 possibilities are "A"

This means that A has a 2/8 chance of being landed on

we can simplify 2/8 to 1/4; because they are equivalent ratios/fractions

to calculate percentage, we can follow through with our equation of 1/4

[divide 1 by 4]

1 / 4 = 0.25

We multiply this number by 100 to find percentage,

0.25 × 100 = 25

meaning that A has a 25% chance of being spun

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
