How many A's and C's are there? And how many total?

3  or all of the letters?

anonymous · Answer

8 in total

So what would the fraction be?

anonymous · Answer

3/8

anonymous · Answer

yep. So that means that all we have to do now is multiply our fraction by the total number of spins. So 3/8*40
