Answer 5

This is how the spinner is looking for the first step

Answer 6

Answer 7

Mk so yea it looks similar to the one i've done . Now pretend that your mouse or your finger is the arrow and spin it 6 times around the circle

Answer 8

okay and what do i then do?

Answer 9

which color did you land on

Answer 10

purple

Answer 11

ok seems like we both landed on purple

Answer 12

So with this information that we have gotten D would be crossed out there is not a chance of 2/3 for red to be picked

Answer 13

okay

Answer 14

also were would we get 36 or 9 from A and B ????

Answer 15

idk

Answer 16

so its 1 over 3?

Answer 17

i would go with C because the circle is split in 3 so every color has the same chance of being picked so each color is 1 to 3--1 to 3---1 to 3 With this information like i said i'd go with C
