Half the numbers on the die are even so you have a 1/2 probability of getting an even number. There is also. 1/2 probability of getting heads on a coin flip.

To find the probability of both happening, multiply the probability of each together:

1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

The probability of getting an even number and heads is 1/4
