Answer:

Area covered by red target = 23/50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of shot = 50

Section      Number of shots

Red                      23

Blue                      8

Orange               10  

Yellow                 9

Find:

Area covered by red target

Computation:

Area covered by red target = 23/50

Area covered by red target = 1/2 of total area

Answer:

The fraction of the area of the Red section is [tex]\dfrac{23}{50}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The number of times the arrow landed on each colored section of the spinner is shown in the table.

Tamara spun the arrow on a spinner 50 times.

Section = Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow

Number of times arrow landed = 23, 8, 10, 9

We need to calculate the fraction of the area of the Red section

Using formula of fraction of area

[tex]fraction\ of\ area=\dfrac{Red\ section}{total\ section}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]fraction\ of\ area=\dfrac{23}{50}[/tex]

Hence, The fraction of the area of the Red section is [tex]\dfrac{23}{50}[/tex]
