A board game has a spinner divided into sections of equal size. Each section is labeled with a number between 1 and 5. What is a reasonable estimate of the number of times the spinner will land on a section labeled 5 over the course of 150 spins

Okay, let’s start with a plan!

1. Find the probability of landing on five in just one spin

2. Multiply it by 150

Find your answer

Let’s start with step one!

The probability is 1/5 since there is one five out of 5 possibilities

Step 2:

1/5 * 150

I got 30

This means about 30 of 150 spins will land on 5.

Hope this helps! Comment if you have questions or need more help!
