Question

A spinner with 8 equally sized slices has 2 yellow slices, 3 blue slices, and 3 red slices. The dial is spun and stops on a slice at random. What is the probability that the dial stops on a yellow or blue slice?​

Answer 1

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how many slices are yellow or blue.

There are 2 yellow slices and 3 blue slices, so 5 of them are either yellow or blue.

There is a total of 8 slices.

So, the probability that it will stop on a yellow or blue slice is 5/8.
