 green as shown. If the spinner is spun twice, find the probability (as a reduced fraction) that the spinner will do the following.

land in a sector other than yellow
 
STEP 1: Find the probability, P(S1), that the spinner lands in a sector other than yellow on the first spin. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)
P(S1) = 

STEP 2: Find the probability, P(S2), that the spinner lands in a sector other than yellow on the second spin. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)
P(S2) = 

STEP 3: Find the probability, P(E), that the spinner lands in a sector other than yellow on both spins. (Enter your probability as a reduced fraction.)
P(E) =
