Question

Two number cubes are rolled. What is the probability that the first lands on 2 and the second one lands on a number greater than 4? Enter your answer, as a fraction in simplified form, in the box.

Answer 1

There are 6 numbers on a cube.

The probability of landing on a certain number would be 1/6.

So for the first one to land on two, would be 1/6.

There are 2 numbers greater than 4, so the probability of that happening would be 2/6 ( reduces to 1/3).

To find the probability of both happening together, multiply each probability by each other:

1/6 x 1/3 = 1/18
