There is a wheel of prizes at the county fair that costs 1 dollar to spin. Use this wheel of prizes to complete this activity.
- Each black section takes up 1/4 of the wheel. If you land on that, you walk away with nothing.
- The blue section takes up 1/8 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get a small prize (a piece of candy or bookmark).
- The purple section takes up 1/8 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get a medium prize (a bracelet or a squirt gun).
- The green section takes up 1/12 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get to spin again.
- The red section takes up 1/12 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get a large prize (a stuffed animal or t-shirt).
- The yellow section takes up 1/30 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get $5.
- The orange section takes up 1/30 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get $10.
- The white section takes up 1/60 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get the $50 jackpot.

(sigh)
(1/4 + 1/4) + (1/8+1/8)+(1/12+1/12)+(1/30+1/30)+1/60 =
1/2 + 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/15 + 1/60
= 30/60 + 15/60 + 10/60 + 4/50 + 1/60
= 1
smh
1) 1/2*1/2 = 1/4
2) 1/60 * 1/60 = 1/3600
3) 1/12 * 1/15 = 1/180
4) 1/8*1/4 = 1/32
5) 1/8*1/4 + 1/4*1/8 = 1/16
