See below.

Work Step by Step

The probability of getting 1 is $1/4.$ The probability of getting red or green is $1/3+1/3=2/3$. The probability of getting Backward is $1/2.$ These spinners are independent, hence the probability of getting 1 followed by red or green followed by a v is the multiple of the three, which is $1/4\cdot2/3\cdot 1/2=1/12.$
