The problem you provided asks for the probability of getting the results shown on the spinners. The image shows two spinners, one with three sections labeled A, B, and C, and the other with four sections labeled A, B, C, and D.

### Let's analyze the spinners:

1. **First Spinner:**
   - It is divided into 3 equal sections: A, B, and C.
   - Therefore, the probability of landing on any one section (A, B, or C) is \( \frac{1}{3} \).

2. **Second Spinner:**
   - It is divided into 4 equal sections: A, B, C, and D.
   - Therefore, the probability of landing on any one section (A, B, C, or D) is \( \frac{1}{4} \).

To find the overall probability of getting the results shown on the spinners, we need to find the product of the probabilities of landing on corresponding sections.

For each specific outcome (e.g., A on both spinners), the probability will be:

\[
\text{P(outcome)} = \left( \frac{1}{3} \right) \times \left( \frac{1}{4} \right) = \frac{1}{12}
\]

Thus, the probability of any specific outcome, such as A-A, B-B, etc., is \( \frac{1}{12} \).

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:
1. What is the probability of landing on A on the first spinner and C on the second?
2. How does the probability change if one of the spinner sections is not equally sized?
3. Can the total probability ever be greater than 1?
4. How would you calculate the probability of landing on B on the first spinner and any section on the second?
5. What happens to the probability if we add a new section to one of the spinners?

### Tip:
To calculate compound probabilities for independent events, always multiply the individual probabilities.
