Question

Robert found an old game in a closet and wanted to play it. However, a portion of the spinner shown at the right could not be read. Find the missing portion of the spinner for Robert. I am dum and Can't figure this out...help pls

Answer 1

`(1)/(18)`

Explanation:

To find the missing portion you need to do:

`1-(1)/(4)-(1)/(3)-(1)/(6)-(1)/(9)-(1)/(12)`

Which is, if you put them all to the same denominator:

`(36)/(36)-(9)/(36)-(12)/(36)-(6)/(36)-(4)/(36)-(3)/(36)`

Which is:

`(36-9-12-6-4-3)/(36)`

Which is:

`(2)/(36)`, which is, simplified,
`(1)/(18)`

Hope this helps :)
