Compare the probability of the spinner lining on one two or three into the answer as a run to the nearest whole number.

P(1)= 50% (6/12 as a fraction )
P(2)=33%(4/12 as a fraction)
P(3)=17%(2/12 as a fraction)

The spinner has a 50% chance of landing on 1, a 33% chance of landing on 2, and a 17% chance of landing on 3. To compare the probability of landing on each number as a ratio, we can simplify the fractions:

1: 6/12 = 1/2 = 50%
2: 4/12 = 1/3 = 33%
3: 2/12 = 1/6 ≈ 17%

So, the probability of the spinner landing on 1 is 50%, on 2 is 33%, and on 3 is 17% when rounded to the nearest whole number.
