Final answer:

The probability of the first cube landing on 4 and the second cube landing on 3 is 1/36.

Step-by-step explanation:

When rolling two number cubes, each with sides labeled 1 to 6, the total number of outcomes is 6 x 6 = 36.

The probability of rolling a 4 on the first cube is 1/6, since there is only one 4 out of the six possible outcomes.

The probability of rolling a 3 on the second cube is also 1/6, again because there is only one 3 out of the six possible outcomes.

To find the probability that both events occur, we multiply the individual probabilities: (1/6) x (1/6) = 1/36.

Therefore, the probability that the first cube will land on 4 and the second cube will land on 3 is 1/36.
