To determine the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on Yellow, we first need to calculate the total number of equal sections on the spinner and then find out how many of those are Yellow.

From the information provided:

  • Green: 3 sections
  • Red: 2 sections
  • Yellow: 2 sections
  • Blue: 1 section

Now, let's calculate the total sections on the spinner: Total = 3 (Green) + 2 (Red) + 2 (Yellow) + 1 (Blue) = 8 sections

Next, we find the number of Yellow sections:

  • Yellow sections = 2

Now we can calculate the probability: Probability of landing on Yellow = (Number of Yellow sections) / (Total sections) = 2 / 8

Now, we simplify the fraction: 2 / 8 = 1 / 4

So, the probability of landing on Yellow is:

1/4

Thus, the correct response is:

14 1 fourth
