No

Answer 2

To determine the probability of landing on a consonant, we need to find the number of consonant sections on the spinner and divide it by the total number of sections on the spinner.

In this case, the consonant sections on the spinner are "K" and "N". Therefore, there are 2 consonant sections out of a total of 4 sections.

The probability of landing on a consonant on the next spin can be calculated as:

Number of consonant sections / Total number of sections = 2 / 4 = 0.5

So, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.5.
