Question

What is the probability of spinning a 2 on a spinner that has 8 equal sides numbered 1-8 and rolling a 3 on a die

Answer 1

1/48

Explanation:

To find the probability of 2 independent events, we multiply their probabilities together.

Probability of getting a 2 on the spinner, 1 of 8 spots

1/8 =

Probability of getting a 3 on the die, 1 of 6

1/6 =

Multiply these probabilities together

1/8 * 1/6 = 1/48
