Question

For an experiment, Alicia plans to spin two different spinners, with equal-sized sections. The first spinner has sections labeled red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The second spinner has sections labeled with the numbers 1 to 5.

1 2 3 4 5
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue

Use the area model above to determine the probability that the first spinner will land on orange or green and the second spinner will land on an odd number.

Answer 1

Mk so
What do you think we should do first?

Answer 2

I really have no idea, I need help on this bad :(

Answer 3

Mk so
There's 5 colors
and 5 numbers
We're looking for how many times the spinner will land on orange and/or green
As well as how many times it'll land on 1, 3, and/or 5

Just add the number of things
# of colors + # of numbers
And then tell me what you get

Answer 4

if would be 10 if you are just adding 10+10

Answer 5

5+5

Answer 6

oops

Answer 7

Wait hold up
What I'm thinking will get you 1/2 as an answer
Scratch that
Let's focus on the first spinner
It has 5 sections
And we're looking for how many times the spinner will land on how many color?

Answer 8

Answer 13

5

Answer 14

How many odd numbers are in there?

Answer 15

3

Answer 16

Correct
So how do we put these things in fractions?

Answer 17

what do you mean

Answer 18

Meaning
2 (Orange and Green) is 2 of how many things? (Number of colors)
3 (the odd numbers) is 3 of how many numbers? (The number of numbers)
