Question

One spinner has 24 equal sections and 8 are red. A second spinner has 32 equal sections and 8 are red. What is the probability that red will be spun on both spinners?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that BOTH is red is individual probabilities multiplied together.

• P(red) in the first spinner is $\frac{8}{24}=\frac{1}{3}$
• P(red) in the second spinner is $\frac{8}{32}=\frac{1}{4}$

So probability that red will be spun on both spinners is $\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{12}$

Answer 2

8/32 and 8/34 because there is 2 different Spinners
