A spinner is numbered 1-8. What are the ODDS of landing on a number greater than 5?
6, 7 and 8 are greater than 5. That is 3 out of 8.
To determine the odds of landing on a number greater than 5 on a spinner numbered 1-8, we need to find the number of favorable outcomes (the numbers greater than 5) and the number of total possible outcomes.
In this case, the favorable outcomes are the numbers 6, 7, and 8. There are three favorable outcomes.
The total possible outcomes are all the numbers on the spinner, which is 1 through 8. There are eight total possible outcomes.
To find the odds, we need to divide the number of favorable outcomes by the number of total possible outcomes:
Odds = Favorable outcomes / Total possible outcomes
Odds = 3/8
Therefore, the odds of landing on a number greater than 5 on this spinner are 3/8.
