For each spin, there is a 1 in 5 chance it will land on orange. So multiply 1/5 by the total number of times and you will get the expected outcome.
You should get 100.

There are five equal parts, each a different color, that the spinner could possibly land on. It can only land on one part with each spin. So divide the number of parts it can land on each time by the number of possible parts it could land on and you get a probability that it will land on orange of 1/5. Multiply this probability by the number of spins and you will get the expected number of times it will land on orange. For example, if you spin it 5 times you would expect it to land on orange 5x1/5= 1 time. If you spin it 10 times you would expect it to land on orange 10x1/5= 2 times. Likewise 500x1/5= 100 times it would be expected to land on orange.
