how many spaces are there to land on?

Answer 8

Answer 9

how many spaces are "forward 1" or "forward 2"

Answer 10

what do you mean?

Answer 11

do you see the spaces labeled "forward 1" or "forward 2"

Answer 12

yes i do

Answer 13

how many of those are there?

Answer 14

1 of each and 2 together

Answer 15

good

Answer 16

2 spaces that we want, out of 6 total

Answer 17

so 2/6 = 1/3 is the probability of landing on either one

Answer 18

multiply this probability by the number of spins to get your answer

Answer 19

so what is the problem? multiply 2/6*1/3 ?

Answer 20

no

Answer 21

you'll multiply 1/3 by the number of spins

Answer 22

so is the answer 2?

Answer 23

how many spins are there total?

Answer 24

its 54 times its spins, so the answer is 18 right?

Answer 25

54*(1/3) = 18, yep

Answer 26

you expect to land on those spaces about 18 times
