Pr(\text{not land on red) = }(7)/(12)Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the probability that the spinner will not land on red, we will find the number of reds on the spinner and subtract from the total colours on the spinner. Then we will divide the result by the total number of colours.

Number of reds = 5

Total colours = 12

Numbers that are not red = Total colours - Number of reds

Numbers that are not red = 12 - 5 = 7

Probability that it will not land on red = Numbers that are not red/ total colours


Pr(\text{not land on red) = }(7)/(12)
