Question

a spinner with 8 equally sized slices has 2 blue slices and 6 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.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total and favorable outcomes

Total number of slices is 8. Number of red slices is 0.

Step2: Use probability formula

Probability $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{0}{8}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{0}{8}=0$

Answer:

$0$
