A spinner has 7 identical sections. Two sections are blue, 1 is red, and 4 of the sections are green. Suppose the probability of an event happening is 2/7 . What does each number in the ratio represent? What outcome matches this probability?
The numerator represents the chance of landing on the colour, and the denominator represents the number of spots you could land on. You have a 2 out of 7 chance to land on blue because there are 2 blue spots. This means that for every 2 times out of 7 spins you would land on blue.
