Question

If the two spinners below are spun, what is the probability that the numbers will add to less than six?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4 or 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are twelve possible outcomes. (4 green for each of the three orange).

The only combinations that add up to six or more are 2&4, 3&3 and 3&4.

That’s 3 out of 12.  So 9 out of 12 combinations will add up to less than 6.

9/12=3/4 or 75%
