Mike is planning a vacation. He has narrowed down his choices to three types of vacations: coastal, rural, and urban. He uses the spinner shown above, which is evenly divided into 3 sections, to randomly decide which type of vacation to plan. If he spins the spinner 180 times, predict the number of times the spinner would land on the coastal section. The spinner would land on the coastal section roughly 60 times, but probably not exactly 60 times. The spinner would land on the coastal section roughly 24 times, but probably not exactly 24 times. The spinner would land on the coastal section roughly 30 times.

If the spinner is divided into 3 equal parts, then it would land on the coastal section roughly 60 times, but not exactly 60 times , because 180/3 = 60
And there is a 33.3% chance Of it landing on coastal every third spin
