Answer:

6/36 or 1/6 chance.

Explanation:

dice roll one has the same numerator as dice roll two

As it acts the same as replaced from a marble bag.

Therefore, we show;

odd numbers on a die = 1, 3,5 = 3

= 3/6 = 1/2

and we show;

numbers higher than 4 = 5, 6 = 2

= 2/6 = 1/3

3/6 x 2/6 = 6/36 = 1/6

The reasons why its so low is that for one dice is is 1/3 chance and for the other dice it is 1/2 chance but to get them in order it reduces again by 2/3 the opposite and by 1/2 the opposite for apposing such result.
