\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The probability of anything is the number of ways that you can have a successful outcome divided by the total number of outcomes. If your spinner has 40 slots each with a different number, then you have 40 total outcomes. The number being divisible by 6 is the criterion for a successful outcome. All you have to do is count how many of the numbers between 1 and 40 are divisible by 6.\r
