Answer:

Probability of nickle getting a head: 1/2

Probability of a dice rolling to a four: 1/6

Probability of both of them happening: 1/12

Explanation:

Since a nickle has two sides, getting a head would be one in two sides. (1/2)

Since a dice has 6 numbers, rolling a four would be one in six numbers. (1/6)

To have the probability of both of them happening: simply multiply 1/2 and 1/6 (1/12)

If directions are unclear, ask me in the comments.
