Good evening,

To find the probability just simply take the total sections on the spinner and divide it by the amount of numbers that you need the probability of.

So in your case it would be 2/8 = 0.25 = 25%

Your answer is D.

Have a great day.

D. 25% as there are 8 sections and two wanted outcomes this can be simplified into a 1/4 so 1/4=25%
