Answer:
a) Blue.
b) 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the probabilities for each color:
Blue: 1/8
Yellow: 3/8
Green: 4/8 or 1/2
a) The color that the spinner is the least likely to land on has the smallest probability, which in this instance, is blue.
b) The probability of the spinner landing on green can be determined by:
# of green sections /total
Therefore:
4 / 8
Simplify the fraction:
4 / 8 = 1 / 2.

d/2=r
big diameter=20.4, so radius i 20.4/2=10.2cm
small is 10.8/2=5.4
so
