    1/12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Split the question into two parts:

    1) What is the probability you get heads?

    2) What is the probability you get a 6?

    Probability is how likely something is going to happen. It is usually expressed as a fraction. The numerator is usually how many ways is correct or what you want, and the denominator is how many possibilities are possible.

    1)

    What are all the possible outcomes in a coin flip?

    Heads and Tails

    So, the denominator is 2

    What do you want?

    Heads

    So, the numerator is 1 since the only way to flip a heads is to flip a head.

    The probability you get a heads is 1/2

    2) What are all the possible outcomes in a dice roll?

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

    So the denominator is 6

    What do you want?

    6

    So, the numerator is 1 since there is only one way to toss a 6.

    The probability you get is 1/6

    Answer: Multiply the results you got in parts 1 and 2 for a combination.

    You get 1/12
