Kevin has a spinner that has 10 equal sections and 2 sections of each color—red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. kevin spins the spinner 180 times. kevin determines about how many times the spinner will land on red or green, and his work is shown below.

From the problem, the way the spinner is set up could be 

red red blue blue green green yellow yellow purple purple

with two sections of each color and 10 total equal sections.

From this we know that 4 out of the 10 sections are red or green.
That means that there is a 4/10 chance of getting a green or a red every time Kevin spins. 

Multiply 180 by 4/10 and you get 72.

The spinner will land on red or green about 72 times.

Hope this helps!

What do you mean by that?
