A spinner with 10 equally sized slices has 2 red slices, 4 blue slices, and yellow slices. The dial is spun and stops on a slice at random. What is the probability that the dial stops on a red slice. (Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form).

or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know that their are 10 slices

2 red

4 blue

4 yellow

so the probability is 2 out of 10 or 2/10 and when u simplify that it is 1/5 so the answer is 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
