eloise is playing a game that uses the spinner shown below.

Explanation:

3.

Step1: Count total letters

The word "BASEBALL" has 8 letters.

Step2: Count number of non - L letters

There are 6 non - L letters.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability $P$ of choosing a non - L letter is $P=\frac{\text{number of non - L letters}}{\text{total number of letters}}=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$.

Step1: Calculate total number of marbles

There are $2 + 3=5$ marbles in total.

Step2: Calculate probability of red marble

The probability $P$ of drawing a red marble is $P=\frac{\text{number of red marbles}}{\text{total number of marbles}}=\frac{2}{5}$.

Step1: Count total sections

The spinner has 5 sections.

Step2: Count number of 5 sections

There is 1 section labeled 5.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability $P$ of landing on 5 is $P = \frac{\text{number of 5 sections}}{\text{total number of sections}}=\frac{1}{5}$.

Answer:

(No options are clearly visible, but the answer is $\frac{3}{4}$)
