A spinner is divided into five colored sections that are not of equal size: red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. The spinner is spun several times, and the results are recorded below:

Spinner Results
Color Frequency
Red 4
Blue 3
Green 2
Yellow 2
Purple 6
Based on these results, express the probability that the next spin will land on blue as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer: 3/17 or 17.64%

Explanation:

Just add everything (adds up to 17), then you put the color frequency number as the numerator of the fraction, then have the added up number as the denominator.
