The reason I wrote 4/6 * 2/6 and not 2/9 was to give the explanation :D . Anyways, elaborating it, probability= P(rolling a number greater than 2) * P(rolling a multiple of three). P(rolling >2)= 4/6 (as there are 4 favorable outcomes 3,4,5,6). P(multiple of 3)=2/6 (as there are 2 fav outcomes viz. 3 and 6)
