Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration of a circle with four equal differently colored parts labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 clockwise. An arrow starting at the center points toward 1.

The spinner is spun twice. What is the probability of spinning orange (dots) on both spins? Express your answer as a simplified fraction.

Since the spinner has four equally likely outcomes (orange, blue, green, and red), the probability of spinning orange on each spin is 1/4.

Therefore, the probability of spinning orange on both spins is (1/4) * (1/4) = 1/16.

So, the probability of spinning orange on both spins is 1/16.
