If the probability of getting an even number on a game spinner is 4/10 , then the numerator of that probability is: a. the total number of outcomes minus the number of favorable outcomes. b. the number of favorable outcomes. c. the number of favorable outcomes plus the total number of outcomes. d. the total number of outcomes.

The answer should be
B) the number of favorable outcomes
since 10 is the total number

Hello!

Usually when working with probabilities of this type we do not subtract, so our answer is not A.

As the numerator is divided, or out of something, we do not add it. Therefore C will not be our answer either.

The total number of outcomes is the denominator, so D is incorrect. The favorable outcome is the probability we are thinking of, so four even numbers. 4 is the favorable outcome and the numerator, so the answer is B.

I hope this helps!
