Question

Two number cubes are rolled.

What is the probability that the first lands on 2 and the second lands on a number greater than 4?

Answer 1

Well you need to find both probabilities first:

Landing on 2:


`(1)/(6)`

Landing on a number GREATER than 4:


`(2)/(6)`

Then multiply them together


`(1)/(6) * (2)/(6) = (2)/(36) = (1)/(18)`

So the probability of the two dice landing within those specific requirements is
`(1)/(18)`

Hope this helps!
