P(5 or 6)=2 out of 6 so 1/3
P(odd number)= 3 out of 6 so 1/2

P(5 or 6 on white dice) x P(odd number on red dice)

P(5 or 6 on white dice) = 2/6 because its either 5 or 6 out of 6 possible outcomes
P(odd number of red dice) = 3/6 because there are 3 odd numbers from 1 to 6.

Substitue these values:
(2/6) x (3/6) = 1/3 x 1/2 = 1/6

The probability that the white dice will show 5 or 6 and that the red dice will show an odd number is 1/6 or 0.167
