Answer:

5/8

Explanation:

The probability of not getting blue can be found by dividing the number of sections that are not blue by the total number of sections.

P(not blue)= not blue / total

There are a total of 8 sections. 3 are blue, which leaves 5 that are not blue (1 yellow, 2 red and 2 green).

not blue= 5

total= 8

P ( not blue)= 5/8

This fraction cannot be reduced, therefore our answer is 5/8
