Answer:

0.4 or
(2)/(5)

Explanation:

James spun the arrow 30 times which means 30 is the total. In other words, it's your denominator (
(x)/(30)). It landed on the blue section 12 times which means 12 is the part of the whole. In other words, it's your numerator (
(12)/(y)). Plug in the entire fraction and you get
(12)/(30). Divide 12 by 30 and you get 0.4 or if you divide both the numerator & denominator by 6, you get
(2)/(5). Either one works, depending on what your question asks for.
