1. The figure shows a fair, circular spinner with 4
sectors numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. The angle of sector 1 is
120°, the angle of sector 2 is 60° and the angle of each
of sectors 3 and 4 is 90°.The spinner is to be spun. The
number of the sector in which the spinner’s pointer
stops is called the score.
