Question

Marcus has a spinner with 3 sections, 2 blue sections , and 1 purple section. Match the event of landing on each color to the correct probability

Answer 1

66.66% blue 33.3% purple

Explanation:

if marcus has three sections two of which are the same group then you take 100 and divide by 3 however since it cannot divide by 3 then the best possible answer is 99.9 so take this and dive it by 3 this gives 33.333333- now take that and multiply it by 2 since that would give it the same amount as two sections since the 33.33333- is 1/3 of the whole after multiplying it by 2 you get 66.66666- now this is 2/3 of the whole which represents the 2 blue sections and then subtracting the 99.99999- by the 66.666666- to find the 1/3 amount of 33.333333- which represents the purple

Answer 2

Blue: 2/3

Purple: 1/3

Explanation:

You have a total of 3 possible sections.

For blue, we have 2 out of 3 sections. The probability is 2/3.

For purple, we have 1 out of 3 sections. The probability is 1/3.
