Answer:

C. 3/9

Explanation:

First, you need to understand what the tree diagram means.

You spin a three-color spinner once. You can get one of three results:

green, blue, or yellow. This is shown in the figure under "1st spin."

Now you spin the spinner a second time. This second spin can also have three outcomes, green, blue, or yellow. For each of the three outcomes of the first spin, you can have 3 different outcomes of the second spin. That is shown under the "2nd spin."

That means there are 9 possible outcomes (numbered from 1 to 9 below):

1. green, green

2. green, blue

3. green, yellow

4. blue, green

5. blue, blue

6. blue, yellow

7. yellow, green

8. yellow, blue

9. yellow, yellow

Each of the 9 outcomes above shows the outcome of the first spin followed by the outcome of the second spin. As you can see there are 9 different outcomes of the two spins.

Now count the number of outcomes that have the same color for the first and second spin. They are shown in bold below.

1. green, green

2. green, blue

3. green, yellow

4. blue, green

5. blue, blue

6. blue, yellow

7. yellow, green

8. yellow, blue

9. yellow, yellow

3 out of 9 outcomes are the same color twice.

Answer: C. 3/9
