1/36 because each one of the choices on the red die has 6 options branched off of it. So you do 6 (number of possibilities in the red die) x 6 (number of possibilities per possibility on the red die). Since a red 6 and blue 6 is 1 specific combination, the answer is 1/36. Hope this helps!

Answer:

1/36

Explanation:

Each die has six sides, so there is always a 1/6 chance. The chances just continue to get slimmer as you go.
