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.

The probability of spinning orange on the first spin is 1/4, as there is 1 orange section out of 4 total sections.
The probability of spinning orange on the second spin is also 1/4.
To calculate the probability of both events occurring, we multiply the probabilities together:
(1/4) * (1/4) = 1/16
Therefore, the probability of spinning orange on both spins is 1/16.
