Answer:

The probability that both spinners will land on 2 is A) 1/12.

Explanation:

To get this answer you must:

-First, take the total number of outcomes and set that as you denominator, which would be 3.

-Since, your looking for the probability of two, and there is only one two you would put one as your numerator. By now you should have a fraction of: 1/3.

-Next, do the same exact thing for the next graph. Take the total number of outcomes for the graph which is 4, and set that as your denominator.

-Then, set one as your numerator since there is only one two in the other graph. You should now have a second fraction of: 1/4.

-Lastly, multiply both of the fractions. Multiply both of the numerator together and you should get one. Then, multiply both of the numbers which would result in you getting a number of 12.

1/3(1/4) = 1/12.
