Question

There is a spinner with 8 equal areas, numbered 1 through 8. If the spinner is spun one time, what is the probability that the result is a multiple of 2 and a multiple of 3?

Answer 1

There are two numbers between 1 and 8 that are both multiples of 2 and multiples of 3: 6 and 8. Therefore, the probability of spinning a multiple of 2 and a multiple of 3 is 2 out of 8, or 1/4.
