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 an even number on both spins? Express your answer as a simplified fraction.

____
The even numbers on the spinner are 2 and 4. Since there are 4 total possible outcomes, the probability of spinning an even number on the first spin is 2/4 = 1/2.
Given that the first spin resulted in an even number, the probability of spinning an even number on the second spin is still 2/4 = 1/2.
To find the probability of both events happening, we simply multiply the probabilities: 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.
Therefore, the probability of spinning an even number on both spins is 1/4.
