Question

What is the probability of not getting a green on this spinner? Be sure to reduce. ​

Answer 1

`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

probability = number of favorable outcomes/number of possible outcomes

There are 8 spaces on the spinner (number of possible outcomes). 6 of those spaces are not green (number of favorable outcomes).

`p (not green) = (6)/(8)`

reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2

`(6)/(8)` ÷
`(2)/(2)`
`= (3)/(4)`
