Tiana spins a spinner several times. It stops on red 12 of those times. Based on this result, she predicts that if she spins the spinner 1,000 times, the spinner will stop on red 240 times. How many times did Tiana spin the spinner?

Answer:

50

Explanation:

Set up the equation

12/x = 240/1000

cross multiply

1000(12) = 240(x)

12000 = 240x

divide both sides by 240

x = 50
