Answer:

if there are 3 colours and 3 sections then answer is 1/3

if there are 3 colours and 6 sections its still 1/3

if there are 3 colours and an odd number then it becomes 1/7 or 2/7 etc

if there are 2 colours and 4, 6 or 8 sections then if all equal it is 1/2, 1/3. 1/4

if there are 4 colours and equal amounts then it is 1/4

if odd amounts then you need to add up how many grey and how many others ie) 2 grey and 3 others = 2/5 as 5 would be total and represent the denominator in fractions.

Grey is the numerator.

Hope that helps.

First you add then you fractionalise.

Then for your spin 2 you must multiply each fraction.

If both spinners are the same its same fraction x same fraction

If both spinners different then its fraction 1 x fraction for spinner 2.
