= 1245/100
= 249/20
= 12 9/20
Answer:
58 in^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the sum of the area of 4 small rectangles + the area of the 2 larger rectangles
= 2*4*1 + 2*5*1 + 2*4*5
= 8 + 10 + 40
= 58 in^2

There are 4 red slices out of 9 total. So there are 9-4 = 5 slices that are not red. The odds in favor of landing on red is 4:5
We basically write the number of ways to get what we want (4), followed by a colon, then the second number is the number of ways to get what we don't want (anything but red; 5 ways)
So that's why the answer is 4:5
-----------------------------------
Side Note -- If we want the odds against, we simply flip the ratio. The odds against would be 5:4 because there are 5 ways to lose and 4 ways to win. This is assuming that landing on red means you win.
