To find the probability of landing on a black or white piece, you sum the probabilities of landing on each individually. The probability of black is 4/9 and the probability of white is 3/9 since there are 9 pieces in total. So, the probability of landing on black or white is 4/9 + 3/9 = 7/9. (Which is about 80%.)
