Question

Kevin has a spinner that has 10 equal sections and 2 sections of each color—red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. Kevin spins the spinner 180 times. About how many times should Kevin land on red or purple?

Answer 1

Hello!

You add the amount of sections have red or purple

2 + 2 = 4

Put this over the amount of sections

4 / 10 = 0.4

Multiply this by the amount of times he spins the spinner

180 * 0.4 = 72

The answer is about 72 times

Hope this helps!
