[?]

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

The probability of getting a yellow can be found by dividing the number of yellow sections by the total number of sections.

P(yellow)= yellow/total

There is only 1 yellow section out of a total of 8 sections.

yellow= 1

total= 8

P(yellow)= 1/8

This fraction cannot be reduced further, so our answer is 1/8.

Answer 2

`(1)/(8)`

Solution,

Total sectors = 8

Total yellow sector = 1

Required probability:

`(1)/(8)`

Hope this helps...
