Explanation:

Step1: Check fairness condition

A fair spinner has equal probability for each color, meaning equal sections.

Step2: Calculate equal sections

Total sections = 18. Equal split: $\frac{18}{2} = 9$. So 9 green and 9 white sections.

Answer:

B. No. The spinner is not fair because there are more white sections than green sections. A fair spinner will have 9 green section(s) and 9 white section(s).
