Question

A spinner is divided into 10 congruent sections.Each section is labeled with a number as shown.What is the probability that the arrow will land in a section that is labeled with a number that is a multiple of 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The only numbers that are multiples of 2 are all even numbers. From 1 to 10 there are a total of 5 even numbers, meaning that only 5 sections are multiples of 2. Therefore, the probability of the arrow landing in a section that is labeled with a number that is a multiple of 2 would be

5/10  if we simplify this it would be 1/2 or 50%

Finally, we can say that the probability of the arrow landing on one of these sections is 50%
