landing on yellow or purple?
blue
green
yellow
orange
Your answer should be in the form of a fraction. Type it like this: 15/52.

Answer 1

3/4

Explanation:

Fraction of total area of the circle each color occupies in the spinner.

purple = 1/8

red = 1/4

orange = 1/8

yellow = 1/8

green = 1/4

blue = 1/8

Landing on yellow or purple: 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4

Not landing on yellow or purple = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
