The probability of landing on red when spinning a spinner with 4 equal sectors of different colors is
1/4.

The probability of landing on red can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (landing on red) by the total number of possible outcomes.

Since there are 4 equal sectors on the spinner, and each sector is equally likely to be landed on, the probability of landing on red is:


\[ \text{Probability of Red} = \frac{\text{Number of Red Sectors}}{\text{Total Number of Sectors}} = (1)/(4) \]

Therefore, the probability of landing on red is
\( (1)/(4) \).

The complete question is:

Spinner has 4 equal sectors colored yellow, blue, green, and red. What is the probability of landing on red?
