The probability can be expressed as :
[tex]Probability=\frac{\text{ Shaded Sections}}{\text{ Total Sections}}[/tex]
The number of shaded sections is 5.
The number of total sections is 12.
In one spin, the probability is :
[tex]\text{Probability =}\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
Every spin has the same probability of landing on shaded area. Since Sarah spins the spinner twice. The probability now will be :
[tex]\text{Probability}=\frac{5}{12}\cdot\frac{5}{12}=\frac{25}{144}[/tex]
The answer is a :
[tex]\frac{25}{144}[/tex]
