focus on the first spinner only (and ignore the second for now)

what is the probability of landing on orange or green?

anonymous · Answer

After that, focus on the second spinner only and:

what is the probability of landing on 1, 3, or 5?(the odd numbers)
Now multiply the probability of the colors and the probability of the numbers together.
