Answer 1

4/64

Explanation:

The spinner is independent (the total won't be effected)

we know there is 2 whites with 8 coloured option.

we want the probability of getting two whites.

2/8 x 2/8 = 4/64

there is 3 ways to work out probability, fraction, decimal and percentage (i'd personally say fraction is the most easiest)
