Answer:

Die: 16. 2/3%

Coin: 50%

Explanation:

Well rolling a 4 on a 6 sided die is 1/6.

To make that a percent we first make it a decimal.

1 ÷ 6 = .16666 repeating

To make this a percent we move the decimal place 2 times to the right.

16.2/3%

The chance of flipping a heads on a fair sided coin is 50% because there are two sides with a 50/50 chance of being either.

Thus,

for rolling a 4 on a 6 sided die there is a 16.2/3% chance and a 50% for flipping a heads on a 2 sided coin.

Hope this helps :)
