Question

A spinner has 8 equal-sized sections. To win the game, the pointer must land on red section. 2 sections are green 2 are yellow 3 are green 1 is red. Find the probability of landing on red as a percent

Answer 1

The probability of landing on the red section of a spinner with 8 equal sections is 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question deals with the probability of landing on a red section of a spinner with 8 equal sections. To find the probability of landing on red as a percentage, we’ll need to know the total number of red sections compared to all sections. Since there is 1 red section out of 8 total sections, the probability of landing on red (P(R)) is 1/8.

To convert this probability to a percent, we multiply by 100:

P(R) = (1/8) × 100 = 12.5%

Therefore, the probability of landing on the red section is 12.5%.
