you spin the spinner once. what is p(factor of 8)? write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

Step1: List factors of 8

The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8.

Step2: Count total outcomes

The spinner has 3 sections, so total outcomes = 3.

Step3: Count favorable outcomes

The number 4 on the spinner is a factor of 8, so favorable outcomes = 1.

Step4: Calculate probability

$P(\text{factor of }8)=\frac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}=\frac{1}{3}$
