Question

The theoretical probability of spinning an even number on a spinner is 23. The spinner has 8 even-numbered sections. How many sections are on the spinner?

please help me idk what im doing loollll

Answer 1

There are 35 different sections on the spinner.

To solve this, we can write a proportion. We put 8 over the number of sections and set it equal to 23 over 100 for 23%.

8 / x = 23 / 100

Cross multiply and divide and you will get an answer of about 35.
