Question

The fair spinner that has numbers 1-5 is spun. Work out the probability of getting a factor of 8. Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

A spinner has 1-5 numbers.

The factors of 8 in 1-5 =  2,4,1

So , three numbers from 1-5 are factors of 8 ..

So, the probability of getting  a factor of 8  =  No.of factors of eight / No.of numbers between 1-5 x 100

= 3/5 x 100

= 60

So , the probability of getting factor of 8 in the spinning wheel is 60%
