Which number could be added to this spinner to make it more likely that the spinner will land on an

Currently there are two odd numbers and two prime numbers so the chances of landing on an odd number or a prime number are the same. By adding 3, 5 or 11 you would be adding one prime number and one odd number so the chances would remain equal. By adding 9 you would be adding an odd number but not a prime number. There would be three odd numbers and two prime numbers so the spinner would be more likely to land on an odd number than a prime number. An odd number is any integer that cannot be exactly divided by 2. In other words, when divided by 2, there is always a remainder of 1. For example, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are odd numbers. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. In other words, a prime number has only two positive divisors: 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13. It’s important to note that 2 is the only even prime number, as all other even numbers are divisible by 2. Problem: Which number could be added to this spinner to make it more likely that the spinner will land on an odd number than a prime number? A) 3 B) 9* C) 5 D) 11
