A spinner with 9 equally sized slices is shown below 7 slices are yellow 1 is blue and 1 is red the dial is spun and stops on a slice at random what are the odds in favor of landing on a yellow slice

The probability of each slice is 1/9 because it is divided into 9 slice
we have 7 slices in yellow therefore the probabiliy is
[tex]P(yellow)=\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}=\frac{7}{9}[/tex]the odds in favor of landing on a yellow slice is 7/9=0.778
