The letters C, D, F, G, H, and I are consonants, so there are 6 out of 7 sections on the spinner where you can expect to spin on a consonant.
To calculate the expected number of spins on a consonant in 175 spins, we can multiply the total number of spins (175) by the fraction of the spinner that is made up of consonant sections (6/7):
Expected number of spins on a consonant = 175 * (6/7) = 150
Therefore, you can expect to spin on a consonant 150 times in 175 spins.
The closest answer choice is 125.
A spinner has 7 equally sized sections labeled as C, D, E, F, G, H, I. In 175 spins, how many times can you expect to spin on a consonant?
A. 125
B. 875
