Question

The fair spinner shown in the diagram above is spun. Work out the probability of getting a factor of 25. Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: 2/5

Explanation:

Factors could be referred to as numbers which divides a certain number without leaving a remainder.

Factor of 25 are ; 1, 5 25

The spinner has 5 faces

Number of faces which is a factor of 25 = 2 ( 1 and 5)

Therefore, probability of getting a factor of 25:

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(getting a factor of 25) = 2 / 5
