In the spinner below the large wedges are twice the size of the smaller ones. What is true about the probability of landing on 6 and the probability of landing on 5?

If we take each small section to be "1" unit, we can say the large sections (for "2" and "5") are "2" units each. So in total there will be 8 sections.

Since 5 is "2" sections, we can say:

P(5) = 2/8 = 1/4

And 6 is "1" section, so we can say:

P(6) = 1/8

Definitely, Probability of landing a 6 is HALF that of probability of landing a 5. Also we can see this is the picture.

So, from the answer choices, A is right.
