Part 1:
a. The probability that the spinner will land on green is calculated by dividing the number of green sections by the total number of sections. Since there are 12 green sections out of 16 total sections, the probability is:
\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{12}{16} = \frac{3}{4} \text{ or } 75\%
\]
Part 2:
b. It is **likely** that the spinner will land on green.
