A spinner has 4 equal sectors colored yellow, blue, green and red. After spinning the spinner, what is the probability of landing on each color?

anonymous · Answer

K but probability is just fractions

anonymous · Answer

It is 1/4

amistre64 · Answer

four possible outcomes all of equal chance to land on; 

1 in 4

anonymous · Answer

Why is it 1/4 though?

anonymous · Answer

As there are four colours, the chance of landing on a particular colour would be 1/4 or 0.25

amistre64 · Answer

you cant land on multiple colors can you?  you can only land on one out of the four

1 out of 4

1:4

1/4
