Answer:2/10 probabilty for the multiple of 5 and a 5/10 or 50% chance that it will be a multiple of 2

Step-by-step explanation: 10 areas, there are 2 multiples of 5,( 5 and 10 )and there is a 2/10 chance of landing on landing 5 or 10 because there are 2 multiples of 5. There are also 5 multiples of 2, (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) 5/10 chance because there are 5 multiples out of 2

Answer:

3/5

Explanation:

In the numbers 1 thru 10, there are 5 multiples of 2 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) and 2 multiples of 5 (5, 10). Since you cannot count 10 twice, there are 6 possibilities (2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10)

So the probability of spinning a multiple of 2 or 5 is 6/10 = 3/5
