The probability of the spinner landing on B is 1/4 since there are 4 sections on the spinner, and each section has an equal chance of being landed on.
The probability of the coin landing on heads is 1/2 since there are only 2 sides to the coin, and a fair coin has an equal chance of landing on either side.
To find the probability of both events occurring together, we multiply their individual probabilities:
1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8
Therefore, the probability that the spinner will land on B and the coin will land on heads is 1/8.
