To find the probability of spinning an even number on the spinner, we can use the formula:

P(even) = number of favorable outcomes / number of possible outcomes

The number of possible outcomes is the total number of segments on the spinner, which is 6. The number of favorable outcomes is the number of even segments on the spinner, which is 3 (4, 6, and 8). Therefore, we can plug these values into the formula and simplify:

P(even) = 3 / 6 P(even) = 1 / 2

The answer is P(even) = 1/2. This means that there is a 50% chance of spinning an even number on the spinner.
