. A game involves spinning this spinner. What is the probability of the pointer landing on Y?
A circle is divided equally into eight sections.· Two of the sections are labeled with an upper B.
· One of the sections is labeled with an upper G.
· One of the sections is labeled with an upper Y.
· Four of the sections are labeled with an upper R.
· An arrow originating from the center of the circle is pointing at one of the sections with an upper R. (1 point)

The probability of the pointer landing on Y is one-eighth.
To determine the probability of the pointer landing on Y, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes (one section labeled Y) to the total number of possible outcomes (eight sections in total).
In this case, there is only one section labeled Y out of eight total sections. Therefore, the probability is expressed as 1/8, or one-eighth.
