Answer:

There is a 16% chance of the spinner dropping on a blue section on the first spin and then a blue section of the second spin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that I spin a spinner that is equally divided into 5 parts, and then I spin it again, knowing that 1 part is pink, 2 parts are blue, and 2 parts are black, to determine what is the probability of the spinner dropping on a blue section on the first spin and then a blue section of the second spin the following calculation must be performed:

Blue parts: 2

Total Parts: 5

2/5 = 0.4 = 40%

0.40 x 0.40 = 0.16

Thus, there is a 16% chance of the spinner dropping on a blue section on the first spin and then a blue section of the second spin.
