Answer:

20 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The spinner has 6 colors and 1 of them is red. So, the probability to land on red is

P = 1/6

Then, the expected number of times that the spinner will land on read can be calculated as the probability times 120, so

E = (1/6) x 120

E = 20

Therefore, the answer is 20 times
