Answer:

33 1/3%

Explanation:

When you roll a die, the possible outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5,6

getting a number less than 5: 1,2,3,4

P( getting a number less than 5)

= number of outcomes that meet conditions / total outcomes

=4/6

= 2/3

Then we flip a coin heads or tails

We want heads

P (heads) = number of outcomes that meet conditions / total outcomes

= 1/2

Since the event outcomes do not depend on each other

P( getting a number less than 5) *P (heads) = 2/3 * 1/2 = 1/3

as a percent

= 33 1/3%
