Question: You and your friend go to a carnival. One of the games is spinning a spinner to win prizes. There are 8 sections of the spinner, each section equal in size. On the spinner, 2 sections have the option of winning one raffle ticket, 5 sections have the option of winning no raffle tickets, and 1 section has the opportunity to win 3 raffle tickets. What is the probability of winning 3 raffle tickets? Write your answer as a percentage, rounded to the nearest tenth.
To find the probability of winning 3 raffle tickets, you need to determine the ratio of the desired outcome (landing on the section with 3 raffle tickets) to the total number of possible outcomes (all 8 sections of the spinner). Since there is 1 section with the opportunity to win 3 raffle tickets and 8 sections in total, the probability is: 1 (section with 3 raffle tickets) / 8 (total sections) = 0.125 To express this probability as a percentage, simply multiply by 100: 0.125 * 100 = 12.5% So, the probability of winning 3 raffle tickets is 12.5%.
