To determine the probability of landing on an unshaded section when the spinner is spun, you'll need to consider the total number of segments and how many of those segments are unshaded.
In the spinner labeled with the letters from the word "HONEST," there are 6 segments total (H, O, N, E, S, T). According to your description, there are 3 segments that are unshaded.
The probability \( P \) of landing on an unshaded section is calculated using the formula:
\[ P(\text{unshaded}) = \frac{\text{Number of unshaded segments}}{\text{Total number of segments}} \]
Plugging in the values:
\[ P(\text{unshaded}) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \]
Therefore, the correct response for the probability of landing on an unshaded section is:
