How did you get that answer first off?

Answer 3

well it was just a guess sort of @ltrout .....
there is 1 brown section, and he spun 9 times..
i could be wrong

Answer 4

Hmm. I'm not completely sure. I googled it just to see what others were saying and only found one answer that was also saying 1/9 but it was never confirmed so I'm not sure. 1/9 makes sense though.

Answer 10

what why??? you are such a good helper

Answer 11

Why is it 1/9?
Each spin is an independent event.
The outcome of a spin does not influence the outcome of any other spin.
The probability of landing on brown on any spin is 1/5, so it should be 1/5.
