In a certain game, a player throws a standard 6-sided number cube twice per turn. What is the probability that the result of the first throw will be a 5 or a 6, and the result of the second throw will be an even number?

So the probability that the first throw will be 5/6 is 2/6=1/3
The probability that the result will be an even number is 3/6=1/2

therefore you multiply 1/2 x 1/3=1/6
