The spinner has 8 equal sections numbered 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6.

The probability of landing on a 3 is 2/8 or 1/4.

Then, the probability of landing on a number less than 3 is 2/8.

So the probability of landing on a 3 and then landing on a number less than 3 is: (1/4) * (2/8) = 1/16.

Therefore, the probability is 1/16.
