can you finish the problem........

We know that even number comes from multiplying an even and even, even and odd, or odd and even

and also a odd number only comes from multiplying an odd and odd,

There are few cases to find the probability of spinning two odd numbers from  1

Multiply the independent probabilities of each spinner getting an odd number together and subtract it from  1 we get.......

$1 - \frac{2}{4} \times \frac{2}{3}$= $1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$
