Here are the steps to answer this question: 

1. Find the denominator. Since there is 8 possible outcomes, our denominator will be 8.

2. Find the numerator. To do this we need to find out of all the 8 possible outcomes, how many are them are y. Since its only 1 y, the numerator will be 1.

3. Now all we have to do now is make our fraction. The 8 possible outcomes given, only one of them has y which means that our fraction will be 1/8.

4. Answer: 1/8 or .125 or 12.5% chance for the spinner to land on y. I hope this helps!
