question 1 how likely it to spin a vowel on this spinner
unlikely
how many possible choices?
how many vowels?
probability(vowel) = #vowels / #choices
Certain
Certain
To determine how likely it is to spin a vowel on a spinner, you need to know the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
First, let's identify the possible outcomes on the spinner. Look at the spinner and count the total number of different options or spaces available. For example, if the spinner has 6 equally sized sections, there are 6 possible outcomes.
Next, identify the favorable outcomes, which are the outcomes that represent spinning a vowel. In this case, you need to determine how many sections on the spinner have vowels. Count the number of sections that represent vowels like "A," "E," "I," "O," or "U."
Once you have the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes, divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. Multiply the result by 100 to get the probability as a percentage.
For example, if the spinner has 6 sections and 3 of them represent vowels, the probability of spinning a vowel would be 3/6 = 0.5 or 50%.
