Given the spinner shown in the picture, you can identify that:

- There is a total of 5 equal areas in the spinner.

- There are 4 areas that have 1 beaver.

Therefore, you can determine that the probability of getting a beaver can be found by dividing the number of areas that have a beaver by the total number of areas in the spinner. Then, you get:


\begin{gathered} P(beaver)=(4)/(5) \\ \\ P(beaver)=0.8 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is:


P(beaver)=0.8
