Final answer:

To calculate the probability, divide the number of numbers that are not multiples of 4 by the total number of possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that the spinner will land on a number that is not a multiple of 4, we first need to determine how many numbers are multiples of 4 from 1 to 50. We can divide 50 by 4 and round down to find that there are 12 multiples of 4. Therefore, there are 50 - 12 = 38 numbers that are not multiples of 4.

The probability is equal to the number of favorable outcomes (landing on a number that is not a multiple of 4) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (all 50 numbers on the spinner). So, the probability is 38/50 = 0.76.

Answer: 38/50

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 12 numbers that are a multiple of 4. we are looking for what the probability of landing on a number that is NOT a multiple of 4. 50-12=38. our probability is 38/50- reduced is 19/25.
