Problem ID: PRASSVA To win a game, Jane must get a sum of 8 on her next two spins of the arrow on the spinner shown below. All the sections of the spinner are of equal size. What is the probability that the results of Jane's next two spins will have a sum of 8? 2 3 6 4 5​

Answer 1

1/5

Explanation:

There are 25 possible outcomes. (5 for each number. For example, the 5 that start with 2 are 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6.)

The ones that equal 8 are:

6-2

2-6

3-5

5-3

4-4

5 out of 25 is 5/25, or 1/5
