Probability of a spinner single answer

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

What is the probability of spinning the letter 'B' on this spinner?

We know that probability is desired outcomes, divided by total outcomes.

In this case there are 2 ways to spin the letter 'B', and 6 total outcomes for the spinner

2 over 6 simplifies to a probability of 1 over 3

If we want, we can also express this as a decimal or around 33 percent.

This math skill teaches how to calculate the probability of landing on a specific outcome in a single spin of a spinner. The process involves dividing the number of desired outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes and simplifying this fraction to express the probability.
