A spinner at the fair has 5 sections. The sections are numbered 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50. During the first hour, players spun the
spinner 200 times. The results are shown in the table below. Results for the First Hour Spinner Number Number of Times Spun 50 10 40 20 30 40 20 50 10 80 During the last hour of the fair, the arrow on the spinner was spun 50 times. Based on information from the table, what number is the most reasonable prediction of the number of times the arrow stopped on 30?
< means 'less than'. 3.5 is less than 4.5, so A is correct. Since -4.5 is NEGATIVE it is less than 0. As for C, since both numbers are negative, it would be the seemingly 'smaller' number that is actually bigger. It may help to think of the numbers on a number line. In the negatives, the numbers start to go in reverse, so the further from 0 a negative number is, the smaller it is. -4.5 IS LESS than -3.5. All answers are correct.
