A.1/8
B.1/4
C.3/8
D.8

Answer 1

I think C.3/8

Answer 2

proportion of the area

Answer 3

Probability of landing on 3 = (# of spaces that are labelled '3')/(# of spaces total)

Answer 4

how much of the circle has a 3?

Answer 5

The answer is A, 1/8. Since there are a total of 8 possibilities,and the number 3, being one of the 8 possibilities.

Answer 6

probability(event) = (number of desired outcomes)/(total number of possible outcomes)

number of desired outcomes --------> How many spaces have a 3?
total number of possible outcomes ---> How many spaces are there?

Divide the number of spaces with 3 by the total number of spaces

Answer 7

hmmmm

Answer 8

it is not the number of spaces for a problem like this, it is an area problem

Answer 9

In math problems with figures, we are not allowed to conclude any dimensions from the figures unless we are specifically told to do so. This is simply a common type of spinner with 8 different numbers, and we assume an equal probability of landing on any of them.
