The probability of flipping heads is 1/2, and the probability of rolling an even number is 1/2 (since there are three even numbers and three odd numbers on the cube). To find the probability of both events happening (flipping heads and rolling an even number), we multiply the probabilities together:

1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

So the probability that Olive flipped heads and rolled an even number is 1/4 or 25%.
