Question

A spinner with 6 equally sized slices is shown below. (2 slices are yellow, 1 is blue, and 3 are red.) The dial is spun and stops on a slice at random. What is the probability that the dial stops on a yellow slice?

Answer 1

Answer:. 1/3 probability that it stops on yellow.

Explanation:

There are 6 possible outcomes. 2 are the incidents that you are looking for.

Make a ratio 2:6 or a fraction 2/6

Then simplify or reduce the fraction. 2/6 = 1/3

Answer 2

1/3

Explanation:

We have 6 slices

2 are yellow

P ( yellow) = number of yellow / total

= 2/6

= 1/3
