Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate the requested probability, so we obtain the following:

Probability of getting tails and rolling a two=Probability of getting tails * Probability of getting a two

And basing ourselves on the fact that when tossing a coin there are two possible events and in this case a favorable one, and when tossing the die there are 6 possible events and one favorable for this case, we have:

Probability of getting tails and rolling a two=1/2*1/6

Probability of getting tails and rolling a two=1/12

Finally we obtain that the probability of getting tails and rolling a two is 1/12.
