There is a spinner game at a fair. The spinner is numbered with all even numbers from 2 to 12. Each section is equal in size. Dan has numbers 4 and 10. What is the probability that he wins a prize? Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

The even numbers from 2 to 12: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12That means there are 6 numbers on the spinner If Dan has 4 and 10 and all the portions are the same, the chances of landing on 4 or 10 is 2/6Simplifying this down would make 1/3. This means there is a 1/3 chance of Dan winning a prize.
