From the question, we have the following:

That Tasha was playing 2 different types of fair geometric objects.

One has 8 faces numbered 1 to 8

The other has 6 faces labelled M, N, O, P, Q, and R.

We are to find the probability of rolling a number greater than 3 and the letter R on the first roll of both objects.

The number greater than 3: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

The probability of rolling a number greater than 3:

5:8 = 5/8

The probability of letterR:

1:6 = 1/6

The probability of rolling a number greater than 3 and letter R:

5/8 * 1/6

= 5 * 1

8 * 6

= 5/48

Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 3 and letter R is 5/48.
