Question

a spinner is divided into equal parts as shown below. find the probability of spinning green or blue on this spinner. 3/8 1/2 1/4 4

Explanation:

Step1: Count total parts

The spinner is divided into 8 equal parts.

Step2: Count green and blue parts

Green: 1 part, Blue: 3 parts. Total green or blue parts: \(1 + 3 = 4\)

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = \(\frac{\text{Number of green or blue parts}}{\text{Total parts}} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{2}\) (corresponding to the option with \(\frac{1}{2}\))
