Each has a 50% chance of happening on it's own - 2 sides to a coin & 3 chances out of 6 on the die.
So if the question is what is the probability of rolling an even number AND the coin turning up heads - the answer is 1/4 or 25% (being 50% * 50%).
This can be seen by the fact there are 12 possible outcomes (2 choices on the coin times 6 possibilities on the die) and there are only 3 ways that both heads/even can happen 3/12=1/4=25%
