Answer:

4/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If there's 6 sectors, and each sector is equal, the probability of the spin landing into any sector has to be the same. Therefore, each sector should be equal to 1, or 1/6. If 4/6 are shaded, there's a 4/6 probability of the spin landing in a shaded sector.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain spinner is divided into 6 sectors of equal size, and the spinner is equally likely to land in any sector. Four of the 6 sectors are shaded, and the remaining sectors are not shaded.

Probability is the likelihood that an event will occur. Probability is a selection over the number of observation.

There are 4 shaded portion of the spinner and two unshaded portion.

The probability that when the spinner is spinned the portion will liand on four is simply

4/6, divided to its lowest term.
