Answer: The probability of the spinner not landing on green on the first spin is 1 - 0.45 = 0.55.

The probability of the spinner landing on green on the second spin is 0.45.

To find the probability of both events happening (not landing on green on the first spin AND landing on green on the second spin), we multiply the probabilities:

0.55 x 0.45 = 0.2475, or 24.75%.

Therefore, the probability of the spinner first not landing on green, spun again and then landing on green is 24.75%.
