Answer: Since the spinners have 5 and 6 numbers respectively, the total number of outcomes is 5 x 6 = 30.

If we get the same number as a previous spin, it means that the first spin is irrelevant, and we only care about the second spin. Therefore, the probability of getting the same number as a previous spin is the same as the probability of getting any specific number on the second spin, which is 1 out of 6.

Therefore, the probability of getting the same number as a previous spin is 1/6, or approximately 0.17 to two decimal places.
