Answer:

Explanation:

The probability of landing on a number greater than 4 on the first spin is 2/3, because 2 out of the 3 numbers (5, 4, 6) are greater than 4.

If the first spin lands on a number greater than 4, then there are two numbers left (4 and 5) for the second spin. The probability of landing on a number less than 6 on the second spin is 2/2 or simply 1, because both 4 and 5 are less than 6.

Therefore, the probability of landing on a number greater than 4 on the first spin and a number less than 6 on the second spin is:

(2/3) x (1) = 2/3 or approximately 0.67.
