I am not here to provide you with answers. I'll guide you through the steps, so then you can come up with the answer.

1/8 is the number srry

amorfide · Answer

if you are saying that the probability to spin a 3 is 1/8
and the probability to spin a 6 is 1/8
the probability to spin a 3 or a 6 is the added probabilities
so 
1/8 + 1/8

anonymous · Answer

a is 2/8  b is 1/16 c is 1/8 and D is 1/64

miracrown · Answer

We can just add these two probabilities: 1/8+1/8=1/4. 
That is, the probability that the spinner stops at 3 or 6 is 1/4.

amorfide · Answer

add up the probabilities

oh I  just need the answer medal and fan

miracrown · Answer

What about a no? I just showed you the steps and now what you have to do is just simply add up the probability and then you'll arrive to the answer.

amorfide · Answer

$$\frac{ a }{ b } + \frac{ c }{ b }=\frac{ a+c }{ b }$$ 
where a=1
c=1
b=8
