Question

Ophelia spins each of the three shown spinners once. What is the probability that the first spinner will land on A, the second on 4, and the third on Green? Enter your answer as a fraction in simplest form. Use / to write your fraction.

Answer 1

1 /24

Explanation:

Given the 3 spinners :

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Probability that Spinner 1 lands on A :

P(spinner 1 lands on A) = 1/2

Probability that spinner 2 lands on 4 :

P(lands on 4) = 1 / 4

Probability that spinner 3 lands on green :

P(lands on green) = 1/3

Combined probability = 1/2 * 1/4 * 1/3 = 1 /24
