Question

A spinner has the numbers 1-12 what is the probability of spinning a number less than or equal to 5

Answer 1

5/12

Explanation:

Assuming the each number is equally likely

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

There are 12 numbers on the spinner

Number less than or equal to 5: 1,2,3,4,5

There are 5 choices

P ( # < = 5) = Number less than or equal to 5/ total

=5/12
