Question

PLEASE HELP

A spinner is divided into eight equal sections numbered 1-8. find the probability of not spinning a 5. write your answer as a fraction, percent and decimal.

Answer 1

7/8, 87.5%, 0.875

Explanation:

There is only 1 5 on the spinner. And there are 8 equal sections.

The probability of spinning a 5 is 1/8.

So, the probability of not spinning a 5 is 7/8

To find the Percent and Decimal form, divide 7 by 8.

You get 0.875-the decimal form

Move the decimal point 2 places to the right:

87.5

Add the percent symbol, and you're done!

I hope this helps!
