The probability of landing on a 6 on the first spin is 1/4 (since there are four equally likely outcomes).
Assuming the first spin landed on a 6, there are now only three possible outcomes for the second spin: 3, 4, or 5. The probability of landing on one of these numbers is 3/4 (since there are now three equally likely outcomes).
Therefore, the probability of landing on a 6 on the first spin and landing on a number less than 5 on the second spin is:
1/4 * 3/4 = 3/16 or 0.1875 (rounded to four decimal places)
You spin the spinner twice.
Numbers on the spinner are 3, 4, 5 and 6
What is the probability of landing on a 6 and then landing on a number less than 5?

As a percentage
The probability of landing on a 6 on the first spin and landing on a number less than 5 on the second spin is 18.75% (rounded to two decimal places).
