Answer:

Probability is 1/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the chance that she will roll an even number on her first roll is 3 out of 6, or simplified 1 out of 2. On her second roll, the probability that she will roll a 5 is 1 out of 6. To roll these both as a pair consecutively, you would need to multiply their probabilities. You do
(1)/(2) x
(1)/(6) which is equal to
(1)/(12) .
