To find the probability of getting a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 3, we first need to calculate the total number of favorable outcomes.
The multiples of 2 in the range 1-8 are 2, 4, 6, and 8.
The multiples of 3 in the range 1-8 are 3 and 6.
However, we notice that the number 6 is counted twice since it is both a multiple of 2 and 3. Therefore, we need to subtract one 6 from the total, leaving us with 5 favorable outcomes.
The total number of possible outcomes is 8.
So, the probability of the result being a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 3 is:
5 (favorable outcomes) / 8 (total possible outcomes) = 5/8
Therefore, the probability of getting a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 3 when spinning the spinner one time is 5/8.
