Answer:

14/81

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting a green is number of green sections ÷ total number of sections = 2/4+3+2 = 2/9

Probability of not getting a green is = 1 - probability of getting a green = 1 - 2/9 = 7/9

Now we calculate the probability of not getting 2 consecutive greens. I.e probability of getting a green the first time and not getting it the second time= (2/9 × 7/9) = 14/81
