Answer:

1/16 or 0.0625

Explanation:

There are two numbers on the chart that are divisible by 3.

So the odds of spinning and getting one of those on the first try would be 2/8 or 1/4.

The odds are then multiplied by the chance of spinning it again on the second try, which would still be 1/4.

To get: 1/16
