Answer:

3/6 or 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the probability of a certain type of object being picked out of a list of objects is the amount of the certain object there are divided by the total number of objects that can be chosen from. In this case, we are looking for the chance of the spinner landing on yellow. To find the total amount of possible events (or objects the spinner can choose), simply add up the amounts of the different types of objects:

3 + 1 + 2 = 6

And now we can divide the amount of yellow slices by the total:

3/6

Which simplifies to:

1/2
