What is the probability of getting a number less than 3 and a tails?

On a standard six-sided die, the numbers less than 3 are 1 and 2, so the probability is 2/6 = 1/3. The probability of tails is 1/2. Since the die roll and coin flip are independent, multiply: 1/3 × 1/2 = 1/6, so the answer is “1 sixth.”
