The spinner shown in the drawing is divided into eight equal sections. If you spin the spinner one time, what is the probability of not getting blue?

If there are 2 blue sections, there are 6 non-blue sections. So the probability of not getting blue is 6/8=3/4.

6/8 or 3/4 (75%) because it says what is the probability of NOT getting blue. This means you have 2/8 of getting blue and 6/8 of not getting blue. (:
