Question

There is a spinner with 8 equal areas, numbered 1 through 8. If the spinner is spun one time, what is the probability that the result is a multiple of 3 and a multiple of 2?

Answer 1

`1/8`

Explanation:

Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8,...
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, ...

The only way to spin a number that is a multiple of 2 and a multiple of 3 is to spin and land on six.

There is only one way to spin a six out of eight possible outcomes.

So, the probability is `1/8`
