Final answer:

To find the probability of rolling a 6 on the red cube and an even number on the blue cube, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of rolling a 6 on the red cube and an even number on the blue cube, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.

There is only 1 favorable outcome for rolling a 6 on the red cube, and there are 3 favorable outcomes for rolling an even number on the blue cube (2, 4, and 6).

Since each cube has 6 sides, the total number of possible outcomes for each cube is 6. Therefore, the probability of rolling a 6 on the red cube and an even number on the blue cube is 1/6 * 3/6 = 1/12.
