Alina has a spinner that has 5 equal sections: red, blue, green, purple, and orange.

There are 5 parts in total and the spinner is expected to land on either purple or orange (2 colors).

So, it become
(2)/(5)=0.4

As Aline spins the spinner 200 times, so the probability that the spinner will land on either purple or orange is :


0.4*200=80

Hence, Alina should expect the spinner to land on either purple or orange 80 times.
