Probility is #1/12 or 8.33(2dp)%#

Explanation:

Possible outcome on first coin is #2#
favourable outcome on a first coin is #1#
So probability is #1/2#

Possible outcome on number cube is #6#
favourable outcome on number cube is #2#
So probability is #2/6=1/3#

Possible outcome on second coin is #2#
favourable outcome on second coin is #1#
So probability is #1/2#

So Probility is #1/2*1/3*1/2=1/12 or 8.33(2dp)%# [Ans]
