Question

1. on a spinner, there are 10 equal spots, numbered 1-10. what is the probability of spinning a 5 and then spinning a 5 again?

simplified fraction:
percent: %

Explanation:

Step1: Find single spin probability

Probability of spinning a 5 is $\frac{1}{10}$ (1 favorable out of 10 total spots).

Step2: Calculate combined probability

Multiply probabilities of two independent spins: $\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{100}$

Step3: Convert to percentage

Multiply the fraction by 100: $\frac{1}{100} \times 100 = 1\%$

Answer:

Simplified Fraction: $\frac{1}{100}$
Percent: $1\%$
