Answer:

1/12

Explanation:

When you flip a coin, there are two possible outcomes. When you roll a die there are six possible outcomes. This means the chances of getting a heads is 1/2 and the chances of rolling a 2 are 1/6. To find the probability that both will occur, multiply the two probabilities: 1/6 * 1/2 = 1/12
