This is a spinner used in a board game , what is the probability that the spinner will land on a multiple of 3 and 4

Respuesta :

3/8 should be the right answer, I have had this question on a quiz as well.

Probability of the spinner will land is

Probability :

The extent to which an event is likely to occur, measured by the ratio of the favourable cases to the whole number of cases possible.

The spinner for  the board game has the  numbers  24, 22, 54, 36, 18, 10, 12 & 64 .

formula used to find the probability is :

P = numbers multiple of 3 and 4 / total numbers

We can do the  prime factorize the given numbers:

24= 2*2*2*3

22 = 2* 11

54 = 2 * 3 * 3 * 3

36 = 2* 2* 3 * 3

18 = 2 * 3 * 3

10=   2 * 5

12 = 2 * 2 * 3

64 = 2* 2* 2* 2 *2*2

Hence, the numbers that is both multiple of 3 and 4 are 24,36, and 12.

so ,

there are 3 numbers multiple of 3 and 4

P = 3 / total numbers        (total numbers = 8)

P = 3/8

hence , the probability is 3/8 .
