Answer

See below.

Work Step by Step

The probability of getting 2 or 4 is $1/4+1/4=1/2.$ The probability of getting yellow is $1/3$. The probability of getting Forward is $1/2.$ These spinners are independent, hence the probability of getting yellow followed by a 2 or 4 followed by a Forward is the multiple of the three, which is $1/3\cdot1/2\cdot 1/2=1/12.$
