Question

Emma buys a spinning wheel from a toy store. The wheel has equal slices of 4 different colors: red, blue, green, and orange as shown below.

Emma starts spinning the wheel.
What are the chances that the spinner will stop on a green-colored slice?

• A. $\frac{5}{12}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{4}$


Total number of slices = 12
Number of green-colored slices = 3

Chances that the spinner stops on a green-colored slice are:
$=\frac{Numberofgreenslices}{Totalslices}$

$=\frac{3}{12}$

$=\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the chances that the spinner stops on a green-colored slice is $\frac{1}{4}.$
