Okay so I'm working on Independent and Dependent Events and I'm usually pretty good at it- but these two problems have me stumped:
1. Two number cubes are rolled --one blue and one yellow. Find the probability that the blue cube is less than 3 and the product is 8. Enter your answer in simplified fraction form.

2.Two number cubes are rolled --one blue and one yellow. Find the probability that the blue cube shows a 4 and the product is less than 20. Enter your answer in simplified fraction form.

Thanks:)

It does! Thank you so much! Can you maybe explain how you got those though? @alex10101 for the sake of my sanity?

Sure thing! Here's a drawing that hopefully helps with the second one. The first is simpler, and you can use the same method to find it as well.
