Answer:
B. 1 over 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the probability of the spinner landing on 5, we need to first know what probability is,
probability = required outcome/all possible outcome
since the spinner is divided into 8 equal sections and each section contains number from 1-8, this implies there are total of 64 numbers on the spinner. This implies that all possible outcome = 64
In each section there is 5, since there are 8 sections on the spinner, the number of 5's on the spinner are 8.
This implies that the required outcome = 8
but
probability = required outcome/all possible outcome
probability (of the spinner landing on 5) = 8/64 =1/8
