Question

A game uses the two spinners shown in the image. What is the probability that you will spin "South" and "3"? Math item stem image

Answer 1

P=1/16 because 1/4 mutiplied by 1/4=1/16

Answer 2

1/32 probability that you will spin "South" and "3".

Explanation:

I found an image for this problem.

For the first spinner, there are four possible outcomes, one of which is "South". So the probability that you spin "South" is 1/4.

For the second spinner, there are 8 possible outcomes, one of which is 3. So there is a 1/8 probability that you spin a 3.

What is the probability that you will spin "South" and "3"?

It is the multiplication of the probabilities.

So there is a 1/32 probability that you will spin "South" and "3".
