Answer:

12/64

Explanation:

We have numbers 1-8 = /8

We have the numbers 6, 7, 8 on the spinner = 3/8

We have the event it doesn't get over 8 too = 8/8-3/8 = 5/8

To use if the question has two events for spinner.

We toss a coin = H or T = 1/2

We convert a 3/8 and 1/2 to same HCF = 4/8 = ( 2x 4 = 8)

3/8 x 4/8 = 12/64
