Answer: first: 1/6 second dice: 4/6

Explanation:

So we know that a dice have the numbers 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 .

So the the probability that first die rolled 2 is 1/6 because there appears only on 2 .

and the probability that the second dice rolled a number greater than 2 is 4/6 or 2/3 because there are 4 numbers greater than 2 out of the 6 total .
