Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is expressed as

number of favorable outcomes/number of total outcomes

From the information given, the spinner has 4 equal spaces. Thus,

number of total outcomes = 4

number of favorable outcomes = number of blue spaces = 1

Thus,

the probability of spinning the spinner and having it land on blue = 1/4 x 100

the probability of spinning the spinner and having it land on blue = 25%
