Question

Written as a percent, what is the probability of getting an odd number on a spinner with 5 equal parts numbered 1 to 5?A.20%B.40%C.60%D.80%

Answer 1

Given:

There are given that the spinner with 5 equal parts numbered 1 to 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given spinner, there are given the number: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Now,

From all the given numbers, there are 3 odd numbers: 1, 3, and 5.

So,

From the probability:

`P=\frac{Total\text{ number of odd numbers in the given spinner}}{Total\text{ numbers on the spinner}}`

Then,

`\begin{gathered} P=(3)/(5) \\ P=0.6 \end{gathered}`

Now,

For the percentage:

`\begin{gathered} P=0.6*100\% \\ P=60\% \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

Hence, the correct option is C.
