[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

In this case, the consonants are B, C, D, F, G, and H. So, out of the 8 sections on the spinner, 6 of them are consonants.

To find out how many times you can expect to spin on a consonant in 160 spins, you can use the following calculation:

Expected number of spins on a consonant = total number of spins * probability of spinning on a consonant
Expected number of spins on a consonant = 160 spins * (6/8) = 120

Therefore, in 160 spins, you can expect to spin on a consonant 120 times.
