Answer:

probability that the first spin lands on blue and the second spin lands on gray = 3/16

Explanations:

Total number of sections = 8

Number of gray sections = 6

Number of blue sections = 2

Probability that the first spin lands on blue = 2/8 = 1/4

Probability that the second spin lands on gray = 6/8 = 3/4

probability that the first spin lands on blue and the second spin lands on gray = 1/4 x 3/4

probability that the first spin lands on blue and the second spin lands on gray = 3/16
