Math Problem Statement

Find the probability of getting the results shown on the spinners. Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Solution

The problem in the image asks to find the probability of getting specific results on the spinners and to express the answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

There are two spinners shown:

  1. The left spinner is divided into 5 sections labeled A, B, C, D, and E.
  2. The right spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Steps to find the probability:

  • Step 1: Calculate the total possible outcomes for the two spinners. The total outcomes are the product of the number of sections on each spinner.

    • Left spinner has 5 sections.
    • Right spinner has 4 sections.
    • Total possible outcomes = 5×4=205 \times 4 = 20.
  • Step 2: Determine the specific outcome we are interested in, but that part is not explicitly shown in the image you uploaded. If you can specify the desired combination (e.g., "B and 3"), I can help calculate the probability of that combination.

Once you provide that information, we can compute the probability for the specific result as: Probability=Number of favorable outcomesTotal outcomes.\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}.

Would you like to specify the specific outcome, or should I help with some possible examples?
