If you roll a fair six-sided die and a fair four-sided die, what is the probability that neither die shows a 1?

For the first die, 5 out of 6 are not 1.
That is 5/6.
For the second die, 3 out of 4 are not 1.
That is 3/4.
Multiply 5/6 by 3/4 to get the probability.
5/6 x 3/4 = 20/72
Simplify once to get 10/36.
Do it again to get 5/18.
In decimal form it is 0.2777 and in percent form it is 27.77%.
Hope this helps!
