The spinner below is spun twice. If the spinner lands on a border, that spin does not count and spin again. It is equally
likely that the spinner will land in each of the six sectors.
For each question below, enter your response as a reduced fraction.
Find the
Find the probability of spinning cyan on the first spin and cyan on the second spin.
If the spinner is spun twice, find the probability of spinning red at least once.

Transcribed Image Text:This image depicts a color wheel divided into five sections of varying colors:
- Two sections are labeled "BLUE" and are colored blue.
- Two sections are labeled "RED" and are colored red.
- One section is labeled "CYAN" and is colored cyan.
An arrow is pointing towards one of the "RED" sections. The sections are arranged in alternating colors around the wheel. The diagram could be used to illustrate concepts such as probability or random selection.
In an educational context, this diagram could serve as a tool for teaching about ratios, chance, and outcomes in a simple and visual way, by spinning the wheel to see which color it lands on.
