Answer:

C) 40 times

Explanation:

Out of the 12 parts, 3 of those are labeled 5.

That means that there is a 3/12 = 1/4 chance that you will land on it when you spin the spinner.

Out of 150 spins, if you get 5 on about 1/4 of them, about 150 * 1/4 = 37.5 ≈ 40 times will yield 5.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Count the number of sections.

... 12!

Now count the number of sections with a label of 5.

... 3!

So the probability of getting a 5 with one spin is
(3)/(12) or 25%.

Now we can calculate the probability of getting a 5 with 150 spins.


P(5)=0.25*150


P(5)=37.5

The closest answer is 40.
