Answer 1

Determining which numbers are less than 5:

A number less than 5

⇒ x < 5

When all the numbers in the spinner are substituted in the inequality, we can see that only three numbers are less than 5.

⇒ 2, 3, and 4

Reviewing the formula to calculate probability:

$\dfrac{\text{Total numbers less than 5}}{\text{Total numbers in the spinner}} = \text{Probabilty of getting less than 5}$

Substituting the values in the formula:

$\dfrac{\text{Total numbers less than 5}}{\text{Total numbers in the spinner}} = \text{Probabilty of getting less than 5}$

     $\bullet \ \text{Total numbers less than five: 3}$

     $\bullet\ \text{Total numbers in the spinner} = 4$

$\implies \boxed{\dfrac{3}{\text{4}} = \text{Probabilty of getting less than 5}}$

Final answer:

Option B is correct.
