Question

There is a spinner with 15 equal areas, numbered 1 through 15. If the spinner is spun

one time, what is the probability that the result is a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 5?

Answer 1

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 are all multiples of 2

5, 10, and 15 are all multiples of 5

We only count 10 once, because it occurs in both sets, so we are looking for it landing on 9 sections out of the 15, or 9/15, simplified to 3/5
