Richard is conducting an experiment. Every time he flips a fair two-sided coin, he also rolls a six-sided die. What is the probability that the coin will land on tails and the die will land on an even number?

even numbers on a dice = 3
total no.s on a dice= 6
sides of a coin= 2
total probabilities= 12
probability of even no. and tails= 4:12
= 1:3
