A spinner has 10 blue sections and 24 pink sections. All the sections are the same size.
If you spin the spinner once, what is the probability that it will land on a blue section?
Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
P(blue)=
The probability of landing on a blue section can be calculated by dividing the number of blue sections by the total number of sections on the spinner.
P(blue) = Number of Blue Sections / Total Number of Sections
P(blue) = 10 / (10 + 24)
P(blue) = 10 / 34
Therefore, the probability of landing on a blue section is
P(blue) = 5 / 17
