Answer 2

Answer:

D. 189 is a good estimate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fred has a spinner that is split into four equal sections: red, blue, green, and yellow.

This means each color has 1/4 chances to appear.

Fred spun the spinner 688 times.

So, a good estimate of the number of times the spinner lands on the green section will be = $\frac{1}{4}\times688=172$

We can say option D is closest.
