A coin has flipped, and the spinner is spun simultaneously the spinner is divided into six equally size sections labels with 123456. What is the probability of flipping a tail and landing on five.
Since the coin has two sides (heads and tails) and the spinner has six equally sized sections labeled with numbers 1 to 6, the total number of possible outcomes is 2 (for the coin) x 6 (for the spinner) = 12.
To calculate the probability of flipping a tail and landing on five, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes.
There is 1 favorable outcome for flipping a tail (since there are only two sides to the coin) and 1 favorable outcome for landing on five (since there is only one section labeled with 5).
Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes is 1 x 1 = 1.
The probability of flipping a tail and landing on five is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes:
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
Probability = 1 / 12
Probability = 1/12
Therefore, the probability of flipping a tail and landing on five is 1/12.
