Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a spinner divided into 12 equal sections, each numbered from 1 to 12. The question asks for the probability of landing on the number 6, denoted as .
Steps to solve:
-
Identify the total number of possible outcomes: Since the spinner has 12 sections, the total number of possible outcomes when spinning the spinner is 12.
-
Identify the favorable outcomes: The problem is asking for the probability of landing on 6. There is only one section labeled 6, so there is 1 favorable outcome.
-
Calculate the probability: The probability is calculated as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes:
So, the probability of landing on the number 6 is .
