Spinner (8 sections, 6 green)
a. Probability = 6 out of 8 = 6/8 = 3/4 = 75%.
b. In words: There is a 3 out of 4 (or 75%) chance that the spinner will land on green.

Marcus (number cube 1–6)
a. Probability the cube will show 10 = 0 out of 6 = 0.
b. In words: It is impossible (there is no chance) the cube will show 10.

Marbles (3 yellow, 2 red, 2 blue; total 7)
a. Probability of a blue marble = 2 out of 7 = 2/7 ≈ 28.57%.
b. In words: There is a 2/7 chance that Sandra will choose a blue marble.

Two bags of Y tiles
- Bag 1: 3/20 = 0.15 = 15%.
- Bag 2: 170/500 = 0.34 = 34%.
You are more likely to pick a Y from the second bag because 170/500 (34%) is greater than 3/20 (15%).

Make Sense and Persevere (40 marbles, 20 white)
Probability = 20/40 = 1/2 = 50%.
In words: There is a one-half (50%) chance of choosing a white marble — equally likely to choose a white or a non-white marble.
