The red spinner has six equal sectors labeled with numbers 1 through 6. The blue spinner has four equal sectors labeled with letters A, B, C, and D. Find the probability of spinning the two spinners and getting a 5 with a B?
1/24
To find the probability of spinning a 5 with a B, we first need to determine the total number of possible outcomes.
The red spinner has 6 equal sectors, so there are 6 possible numbers it can land on.
The blue spinner has 4 equal sectors, so there are 4 possible letters it can land on.
To find the total number of outcomes, we multiply the number of possibilities for each spinner together: 6 x 4 = 24.
Next, we need to find the number of favorable outcomes, that is, the number of ways we can get a 5 with a B.
The red spinner has only one sector labeled as 5.
The blue spinner has one sector labeled as B.
To find the number of favorable outcomes, we multiply the number of possibilities for each spinner together: 1 x 1 = 1.
Now, we can calculate the probability by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.
Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes = 1 / 24 = 1/24.
Therefore, the probability of spinning the two spinners and getting a 5 with a B is 1/24.
