A six-sided die is tossed and a coin is flipped. What is the fractional probability that the die lands on an even number and the coin is heads?
There are 3 even numbers on a six-sided die (2, 4, 6) and 2 possible outcomes for a coin flip (heads or tails).
Therefore, the combined total number of favorable outcomes is 3 (even numbers) x 1 (heads) = 3.
The total possible outcomes are 6 (total sides on a die) x 2 (possible outcomes for a coin flip) = 12.
Therefore, the fractional probability that the die lands on an even number and the coin is heads is:
3/12 = 1/4 or 0.25.
