answer is 1/36...

probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6 so if you do it twice it will be 1/6×1/6=1/36

Answer:

1/36

Explanation:

Probability is defined as the measure of likelihood or occurrence of an event. It is expressed as:

Probability = possible outcome of event/Total outcome of event.

Total number of sides of spinner = 6

If the spinner is spunned once the probability of getting a 3 is 1/6 since 3 is just occurring once on the spinner.

If the spinner is spunned twice in a row, the probability of a 3 occurring will be 1/6×1/6 = 1/36
