Use the table to answer the question.
Outcomes K I N D
Frequency 120 140 105 135
A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as K, I, N, D. Xavier reproduced the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the outcomes of 500 spins. What is the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin?

The number of occurrences of the consonants (K, N, D) is 120 + 105 + 135 = 360 out of a total of 500 spins.
The probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant on the next spin is:
360/500 = 0.72
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.72, or 72%.
So the correct answer is: 0.72
