Question

If you spun the spinner 1 time, what is the probability of landing on either a white piece or a gray?

the circle in the picture has 3 gray and 5 white
there are 9 pieces in total

Answer 1

`(8)/(9)`

Explanation:

So, there are 8 pieces with color and 1 piece without the wanted color.

The equation for finding the probability is:
`(sum of terms )/(number of terms )`

Therefore: 3 + 5 = 8 and 9 pieces in total

so the correct answer should be 8/9
