There is a spinner with 12 equal areas, numbered 1 through 12. If the spinner is spun one time, what is the probability that the result is a multiple of 2 and a multiple of 5?

Answer 1

The numbers that are multiples of both 2 and 5 are numbers that are multiples of 10. In this case, the numbers that are multiples of 10 are 10.

Therefore, the probability of spinning a multiple of 2 and a multiple of 5 is 1/12 since there is 1 desired outcome out of 12 possible outcomes.
