Answer:
1/6
1/12
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three possible outcomes in the left spinner, and four possible outcomes in the right spinner. So there are a total of 3×4=12 possible combinations. We can show that by making a grid:
Of these 12 combinations, 2 show both spinners landing on the same color (RR and BB). So the probability is 2/12 = 1/6.
There is only 1 outcome in which the first spinner lands on R <em>and</em> the second spinner lands on P (PR), so the probability is 1/12.
There are 6 outcomes in which the first spinner lands on R <em>or</em> the second spinner lands on P (RR, BR, PR, RY, BP, GP). So the probability is 6/12 = 1/2.
