    spin 10 sector spinner and roll dot cube
    If you spin a 10 sector spinner (numbered 1 through 10) one time, and roll a dot cube one time, what is the probability that they will land on the same number?

    Here's a hint - it's easiest to think this one through in the opposite order. First throw the cube, then spin the spinner. The problemn becomes: what is the probability of the spinner matching the number that shows on the cube?

    Post back with what you think the answer is.
