The spinner shown is divided into 6 sections of equal size.
An image is supposed to go here. You can help us out by creating one and editing it in. Thanks.
What is the probability of landing on a section that contains the letter P using this spinner.
Solution

As stated in the problem, there are sections of equal size. Looking at the spinner, we can notice that P appears
times in the spinner.
Thus, the probability is .
