Lisa and Michelle want to play a game, but the spinner is missing. According to the manufacturer, the spinner should allow for a 60% probability to move ahead 5 spaces on the game, and a one out of five probability to lose a turn. If a player also has 0.2 probability of moving ahead one space on the game, which spinner should the girls use for this game?

we have a 60%, a 0.2 and a 1/5 I don't know which format you prefer but it's easier to put all of them in a single format.
