Answer:

5/36 or approximately 13.88...%

Explanation:

First, we need to know the probability of rolling a 2 or 3. Because there are 6 sides, the probability is 2/6

Next, we have to find the probability of rolling an even number. With the numbers:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

1, 3, 5 are odd 2, 4, 6 are even

so, the probability of rolling an even number is 3/6

Finally, multiply the probabilities:

3/6*2/6=5/36

Answer:

5/36 or about 13.88%
