Sure! Let’s solve each problem step by step and explain the reasoning.

Problem 1: You spin the spinner once. What is the probability (less than 6)? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
Looking at the spinner:
- The spinner has numbers:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 — that’s
8 total sections, all equally likely.
- We want the probability of spinning a number
less than 6.
- Numbers less than 6:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 → that’s
5 favorable outcomes.
✔ Probability = (favorable outcomes) / (total outcomes) =
5/8

Problem 2: You flip a coin. What is the probability you have a tail?
A fair coin has
2 sides: Heads and Tails.
- Only
1 outcome is Tail.
- So, probability = 1/2
✔ Answer:
½ (choose the box with ½)

Problem 3: You roll a dice. What is the probability you have an even number? Write your answer as a percentage.
A standard die has numbers:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 → 6 total outcomes.
Even numbers:
2, 4, 6 → 3 favorable outcomes.
Probability = 3/6 = ½
To convert to percentage:
½ × 100% =
50%
✔ Answer:
50%

Problem 4: You roll a dice. What is the probability you have a number less than 5?
Numbers on a die:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Numbers
less than 5:
1, 2, 3, 4 → 4 favorable outcomes
Total outcomes = 6
Probability = 4/6 =
2/3
✔ Answer:
2/3

✔ Final Answers:
1.
5/8
2.
½ (select the second box)
3.
50%
4.
2/3
