To play a game you spin a spinner like the one shown. You win if the arrow lands in one of the areas marked "WIN". Lee played this game many times and recorded her results. She won 8 times and lost 40 times. Use Lee's data to explain how to find the experimental probability of winning the game.
I am a bit lost on this math problem. Can you please explain this?

8/40 = 1/5
Hello I believe I got this one and understand this a bit better.
Win: 8/48=1/6
Lose: 40/48=5/6
Win: 8/48=1/6
Lose: 40/48=5/6
Hello Ms. Sue I put 48 instead of 40 because there are a total of 48 times or 48 trials
Correct!
WIN = 8/48
= 1/6 or 0.1667 = 16.67% chance of winning
LOSE = 40/48
= 5/6 or 0.8333 = 83.33% chance of losing.
WIN = 8/48
= 1/6 or 0.1667 = 16.67% chance of winning
LOSE = 40/48
= 5/6 or 0.8333 = 83.33% chance of losing.
Thank you for checking my answer. I went back and reread it again like 4 or 5 times.
Your welcome, Patrick!
