Question

use the spinner to determine who will order first. use the interactive spinner to model who among elisondra and her three friends will order first. then answer the questions. what is the theoretical probability of the spinner landing on elisondras section? 1/4 spin the spinner. who orders first?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total number of people

There are Elisondra and her 3 friends, so $1 + 3=4$ people in total.

Step2: Calculate probability

The theoretical probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. The favorable outcome is the spinner landing on Elisondra's section (1 outcome), and the total number of outcomes is the number of people (4 outcomes). So the probability is $\frac{1}{4}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$
