Answer 1

Answer:

64/200 times the spinner will land on vowel

Step-by-step explanation:

On the table, the chart says 10 times for A and 6 times for E. This means that the experimental probability for rolling a vowel in a trial of 50 rolls is 16/50.

The next step is create equal ratios. 16/50 = x/200. 50 times 4 is 200 so 16 times 4 is 64.
