Okay, let’s start with a plan!

1. Find the probability of landing on five in just one spin

2. Multiply it by 150

Find your answer

Let’s start with step one!

The probability is 1/5 since there is one five out of 5 possibilities

Step 2:

1/5 * 150

I got 30

This means about 30 of 150 spins will land on 5.
