Question

Kevin has a spinner that has 10 equal sections and 2 sections of each color—red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. Kevin spins the spinner 180 times. Kevin determines about how many times the spinner will land on red or green, and his work is shown below.

Answer 1

From the problem, the way the spinner is set up could be 

red red blue blue green green yellow yellow purple purple

with two sections of each color and 10 total equal sections.

From this we know that 4 out of the 10 sections are red or green.
That means that there is a 4/10 chance of getting a green or a red every time Kevin spins. 

Multiply 180 by 4/10 and you get 72.

The spinner will land on red or green about 72 times.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The total number of times the spinner will land on red or green is 72 and this can be determined by using the given data.

Given :

• Kevin has a spinner that has 10 equal sections and 2 sections of each color—red, blue, green, yellow, and purple.
• Kevin spins the spinner 180 times.

According to the data, there are four sections of red and blue out of ten sections. So, the chances of getting red or green every time are 4/10 every time Kevin spins.

Therefore, the total number of times the spinner will land on red or green is given by:

$=180\times \dfrac{4}{10}$

Multiply 180 by 4 in the above expression.

$=\dfrac{720}{10}$

Divide 720 by 10 in the above expression.

= 72

So, the total number of times the spinner will land on red or green is 72.
