Question

You roll a six-sided number cube and flip a coin. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 2 and flipping heads? *

1/12
1/4
6/2
2/6

Answer 1

1/12 that the answer

Answer 2

1/12

Explanation:

First, you should already be able to understand that the only number less than 2 on this cube is 1. So, you can understand that there is a 1/6 chance because there is a total of 6 numbers, and out of those, only 1 of those are your answer.

Then, you will note that a coin only has 2 sides, so there is a 50/50 chance of getting heads, or 50%. Now, you will turn that into a fraction, which is 1/2.

Next, you will multiply to make the denominators the same. And what you do to the denominator must happen to the numerator. (1/6 * 2--> 1/12 and 1/2 * 6 = 1/12)

Hope this helps! :)
