you just count how many times you see an A or C on the spinner
OpenStudy (playgames1122):
oh i see a 2 times and one c
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so there are 3 spaces that either have A or C
this is out of 8 spaces total
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
probability of landing on A or C = 3/8
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you multiply 3/8 by 40 to get your answer
