    Let x represent the Area of entire spinner.

    Red section is 1/2 of the spinner. So Area of red section = x/2

    Blue section is 1/4 of the spinner. So Area of blue section = x/4

    The remaining section is green. So Area of green section will be:

    = Total Area - Area of red - Area of blue

    Area of green section = x - x/2 - x/4 = x/4

    Probability in this case will be = Area of the section/Total Area of spinner

    a) Probability of landing on Red section = (x/2) / x = 1/2

    b) Probability of landing on Blue section = (x/4) / x = 1/4

    c) Probability of landing on Green section = (x/4) / x = 1/4
