Explanation:

There are 2 even numbers on the spinner. It would be 2/4 or 1/2 for the probability the spinner will land on one of the numbers. The coin is a 1/2 probability you will land on tales. If you add both sides of the coin and the 4 numbers on the spinner you would get 6. You would then add only the even and tales together. That would be 3 out of 6.
