What are the odds against the spinner landing on red? A square spinner is shown that is divided into four congruent squares that are yellow, green, red, and blue. The spinner is pointing to the green square.

A. 4:1
B. 2:2
C. 3:1
D. 1:3

1 answer

The spinner has four congruent squares. Since the spinner is pointing to the green square, there is only one green square out of four, which means that there are three squares that are not green (yellow, red, and blue). Therefore, the odds against the spinner landing on red are 3:1.

So the answer is C. 3:1.
