Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of sections

$10 + 24=34$

Step2: Calculate probability of landing on blue

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. Here, the number of favorable outcomes (blue sections) is 10 and total number of outcomes (total sections) is 34. So $P(\text{blue})=\frac{10}{34}=\frac{5}{17}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{17}$
