The probability of spinning a slice that is not yellow is equal to the total number of non-yellow slices divided by the total number of slices.

Total number of non-yellow slices = 9 (3 red + 5 blue)

Total number of slices = 12

Therefore, the probability of spinning a slice that is not yellow is 9/12 or 75%.
