you spin the spinner once. what is p(prime)? write your answer as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth…

Answer:

50.0%

Explanation:

Step1: Identify prime numbers

The prime - numbered sections are 5, 7, 2 (not shown but among single - digit primes), 3 (not shown but among single - digit primes). Here, the prime numbers on the spinner are 5 and 7.

Step2: Calculate total and favorable outcomes

There are 6 total sections on the spinner ($n = 6$). The number of prime - numbered sections $m=3$ (assuming we consider the common single - digit primes and the ones on the spinner).

Step3: Calculate probability as a fraction

The probability formula is $P=\frac{m}{n}$. So $P=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Step4: Convert to percentage

To convert $\frac{1}{2}$ to a percentage, we multiply by 100: $\frac{1}{2}\times100 = 50%$. Rounding to the nearest tenth gives 50.0%.
