Answer:

25% or 1 in 4 chance.

Explanation:

The chances for rolling an even number are 3/6, because there are 6 numbers total, and 3 are even.

3/6 can be re-written as 1/2.

The chances of landing tails are also 1/2, because there are 2 sides and tails is one of them.

So then, multiply 1/2 by 1/2 to get 1/4.
