Question

In the spinner below the large wedges are twice the size of the smaller ones what is the probability of landing on 4?!?! (:

Answer 1

If the larger ones are twice the size of the smaller ones, it means that the larger ones have a probability of 1/4. So that leaves 2/4 as the total probability. Divide that by two, and it gives you the probability for two of the smaller sections (1/4) and divide it by two again to give the probability of one of the smaller sections (1/8)

This means the answer is A :)

Answer 2

The answer is A. 1/8

Since the large wedges are twice the size as the smaller ones, count each large wedge as 2 and small wedge as 1 and them add them up.

All the wedges together then add up to 8, and since wedge "4" is only one part of the whole, the answer is 1/8.
