    Because the actual dimensions of the board and the target are missing, let us supply the missing values.

    Let:

    radius of board = 6 inches

    radius of target = 2 inches

    Area of board = pi * r^2 = pi*6^2 = 36pi

    Area of target = pi * r^2 = pi*2^2 = 4pi

    Probability of hitting the target = 4pi / 36pi = 1/9

    Therefore, there is a 1/9 chance of hitting the target on the board.
