To find the probability that the coin will show heads and the cube will show two, we need to determine the probability of each individual event and then multiply them together.

The probability of the coin showing heads is 1/2 since there are two equally likely outcomes (heads or tails) and only one of them is heads.

The probability of the cube showing two is 1/6 since there are six equally likely outcomes (numbers 1 to 6) and only one of them is two.

To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the individual probabilities:

(1/2) * (1/6) = 1/12

Therefore, the probability that the coin will show heads and the cube will show two is 1/12.
