Answer 1

@LegendarySadist

Answer 2

Well there are 5 total choices and we're looking for the chance of 2. So our fraction would just be \[\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\] Just multiply that by 60.

Answer 3

24?

Answer 4

Yep, that would be it

Answer 5

Answer 6

We are not suposed to give them the answer here it is explained

There are 5 equal possibilities for the arrow to land on.
We are intrested in two of them lose a turn or back 2 the probability of getting either of those two are desired outcome / total possibilites =2/5
if you spin 60 times the number of times you will get either is 60* 2/5= 24
