To calculate the total number of spins and the number of times the spinner landed on blue, let's go through the information systematically:

  1. Sabrina performed 5 trials, and for each trial, she spun the spinner 10 times.

    • Total spins = Number of trials × Spins per trial = 5 × 10 = 50 times.
  2. Now, to find out how many times the spinner landed on blue, we would need the specific results from the table mentioned, which is not provided in your message. If you provide the counts of how many times the spinner landed on blue in each trial, we can sum those to get the total.

  3. To find the overall percentage of spins landing on blue, you would use the formula: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of times landed on blue}}{\text{Total spins}} \right) \times 100 \]

Please provide the specific results for the number of times the spinner landed on blue in each trial to complete the calculations.
