Question

Andrew will spin the two spinners below one time.

What is the probability of spinning a blue and spinning a 1?

A. 1/6
B. 1/8
C. 1/16

Answer 1

Answer: C.

Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of spinning a blue on the first spinner is 1/2 and the probability of spinning a 1 on the second spinner is 1/6. To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the probabilities:

P(blue and 1) = P(blue) x P(1) = (1/2) x (1/6) = 1/12

Therefore, the probability of spinning a blue and spinning a 1 is 1/12, which is closest to answer choice C.
