there is a spinner with 15 equal areas number one through 15 if the spinners spin one time, what is the probability that the result is a multiple of six or a multiple of four?

Answer 1

To find the probability that the result is a multiple of six or a multiple of four, we first need to determine the multiples of six and multiples of four that are on the spinner.

Multiples of six: 6, 12
Multiples of four: 4, 8, 12

There is one number that is common between the multiples of six and multiples of four, which is 12.

So, the numbers that are multiples of six or multiples of four on the spinner are 4, 6, 8, 12.

There are a total of 4 numbers that meet the criteria out of 15 on the spinner.

Therefore, the probability of spinning a multiple of six or a multiple of four is 4/15 or approximately 0.267 or 26.7%.
