Explanation:

Step1: Count total sections

There are 7 sections on the spinner.

Step2: Count favorable sections

Numbers greater than 5 are 6,7,8. So there are 3 favorable sections.

Step3: Calculate probability as fraction

Probability \( P=\frac{\text{Favorable}}{\text{Total}}=\frac{3}{7} \).

Step4: Convert to percentage

\( \frac{3}{7}\times100\%\approx42.86\% \)

Answer:

\( 42.86\% \)
