Answer 2

[1a]

Answer: 1/3 or 33.33%

Explanation:

We will put wanted outcomes over possible outcomes. In this case, blue sections over total sections.

2/6 = 1/3

[1b]

Answer: 1/2 or 50%

Explanation:

Since this asks only specifically for the second spin, we will completely ignore the first spin since it is a spinner and the odds for both rounds are the same.

Again, we will put wanted outcomes over possible outcomes. In this case, yellow sections over total sections.

3/6 = 1/2
