We are asked to determine the probability of landing on an odd number and then landing on a 6.

To do that we will use the product rule of probabilities:


P(AandB)=P(A)P(B)

Where:


\begin{gathered} A=\text{ landing on an odd number} \\ B=\text{ landing on a 6} \end{gathered}

To determine the value of the probability of A we need to have into account that there is only 1 odd number (7) out of 3 possible numbers, therefore, the probability is:


P(A)=(1)/(3)

Now, to determine the value of the probability of "B" we need to have into account that there is only one number 6 out of 3 numbers therefore, we have:


P(B)=(1)/(3)

Now, we substitute the values:


P(AandB)=((1)/(3))((1)/(3))

Now, we solve the operations:


P(AandB)=(1)/(9)

Therefore, the probability is 1/9
