If there is one face with 5 and one face with 2 on a die, and there are 6 faces total, then the probability for each will be 1/6
When you roll a die, it does not affect the next roll, so it's going to be "the probability of this AND this"
To find this type, you multiply your ratios.
Do you think you can solve it from here?

no im stupid >-<
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That's all right.
Your ratios are 1/6 and 1/6, so your multiplication will look like this
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\times\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\]
Then you cross multiply (NumeratorxNumerator, DenominatorxDenominator)

Does that make sense/do you think you can solve it from here?

im not good with math at all >~<

nm is 1/36
OpenStudy (anonymous):
am i right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah! =D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can it be simplified
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, because 1 is not divisible by anything.
