Answer:

Try a different proportion. Like 3/6.

Explanation:

It is true that there is a 1/2 chance that the spinner will land on blue. But how many times does it get spun? That will be your denominator and the number of times that it will land on blue will be the number in the numerator. Like this, the ratio 1/2 states that out of 2 spins, 1 time it will land on blue. If the problem gives you a number of spins, try to incorporate that into your answer. For example, if the problem says that the spinner is spun 6 times, then 3 times it should land on blue. Therefore giving you a fraction of 3/6. I hope this helps!
