The panels are all the same size. Solve for the theoretical probability that the wheel will land on blue. Could anyone tell me how I would go about solving this problem? Thanks! (P.s., I realize that this problem has to do with probability and could probably go under the "Probability" board; however, this is a problem I came across in my Algebra class, so I figured it would be appropriate here.)
