Question

On the spinner below there are four equally likely outcomes. What is the probability of spinning a 2? Write the answer as a ratio, decimal and percent.​

Answer 1

1:4 = ratio

0.25 = decimal

25% = percent

Explanation:

On the spinner below there are four equally likely outcomes. Therefore, the probability of spinning a 2 is 1:4, 0.25, or 25% .

There are 4 possible outcomes:

1

2

3

4

The probability of spinning on any of those numbers is 1:4 or 25%.

25% and 0.25 are 2 of the answers because 100÷4=25 and 25 is 1/4 of 100.

Answer 2

There are 4 different outcomes.

Only one of the numbers is a 2, so you could get a 2 once out of 4 possibilities.

The probability of getting a 2, would be :

Ratio: 1/4

Decimal = 0.25

Percent: 25%
