If this spinner is spun once, what is the probability of getting a purple if there is 5 purples out of 12
The probability of getting a purple is 5/12 or approximately 0.42.
To find the probability of getting a purple on the spinner, we need to divide the number of favorable outcomes (purple) by the number of possible outcomes.
In this case, there are 5 purples out of 12 total outcomes. Therefore, the probability of getting a purple is:
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
Probability = 5 / 12 = 0.4167 (rounded to four decimal places)
So, the probability of getting a purple is approximately 0.4167 or 41.67%.
